Visa support for a visa up to 2 weeks costs $ 30 per person (children under 12 - $20) and up to 1 month - $50 per person (children under 12 - $30). Please note that additional consular fees are paid at the embassy with your visa application, which may range from $ 40 up-to $150, depending on the length of your stay and the country of your citizenship.

To provide you with the visa support, we need the following:

  • Copy of the flight tickets or official flight reservation form, if visa will be obtained upon arrival at the Tashkent International Airport. See conditions below.

Based on the above information, we will prepare a visa support application and submit it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan in Tashkent. The approval process takes about 7 working days. Approved visa support application is faxed directly to the embassy or consulate of the Republic of Uzbekistan provided in your Letter of Invitation. We will send you by e-mail the reference number (telex number) of the approved Letter of Invitation, which you would need to provide together with your visa application.
