Uzbekistan Grants 30-Day Visa-Free Entry to Indian Citizens

Countries affected: Uzbekistan and India

Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev announced the new visa-free regime during talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Tashkent on August 30, 2026. The policy allows Indian travelers to stay for up to 30 days without obtaining a visa in advance.

The move aims to boost tourism, trade, and cultural ties between the two countries. Indian visitors will still need to complete any required arrival formalities, such as the Uzbekistan Digital Arrival Card if applicable.

Authorities advise travelers to verify the exact implementation date and any entry requirements before booking flights, as the announcement is recent and details may be finalized.
