FREE-VISA PROCEDURE FOR TRANSIT PASSENGERS:
А 5-day visa-free transit regime is applicable at the international airports of Uzbekistan for citizens of the United States of America. Passengers need to provide an air ticket to the country they are travelling next (the flight must be within 5 days of arrival) and the carrier should inform the border authorities of Uzbekistan on passengers who are eligible for transit visa-free.
ATTENTION: As the evidence from practice shows that, exclusive of Uzbekistan Airways, not all airlines inform in advance the border authorities of Uzbekistan on transit passengers without visa. As a result, these passengers are deported or forced to redeem the air ticket on a different route. In order to avoid this kind of troubles, the USA citizens, who are eligible for transit visa-free, are strongly advised to check with the air carrier in advance about the availability of a service for timely informing the border authorities of Uzbekistan on transit passengers without visa. In the absence of such a service, the US CITIZENS ARE RECOMMEND TO OBTAIN E-VISA.
