The Uzbekistan eVisa costs $20 for single entry, $35 for double entry, and $50 for multiple entry – the same price for all nationalities regardless of citizenship. This guide covers every fee-related detail you need before applying through the official e-visa.gov.uz portal, including payment methods, business visa costs, and how the eVisa compares to embassy alternatives. For a complete overview of the visa system, see our Uzbekistan eVisa guide.
Uzbekistan eVisa Fee Overview
The Uzbekistan eVisa fee structure is straightforward with no hidden charges or nationality-based surcharges. Whether you are applying from India, Pakistan, Turkey, the United Kingdom, or any other eligible country, you pay the same amount in US dollars.
The Uzbekistan eVisa costs $20 USD for a standard single-entry visa. This fee covers your entire application processing through the official portal at e-visa.gov.uz, operated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan. There are no additional service fees, processing charges, or agent commissions when you apply directly through the official site.
For travelers who need multiple entries during their 90-day validity window, the Uzbekistan eVisa fee increases to $35 for double entry and $50 for multiple entry. Each entry allows a stay of up to 30 days.
At $20 for a single entry covering up to 30 days, the Uzbekistan eVisa fee works out to approximately $0.67 per day – one of the best value electronic visa systems in Central Asia. If you need to apply for the Uzbekistan visa, the process takes about 10-15 minutes online.
eVisa Fee by Entry Type
Each entry type offers 30 days per entry within a 90-day validity window, with pricing reflecting the number of allowed entries. Understanding the difference between entry types helps you choose the right option and avoid overpaying for entries you will not use.
| eVisa Type | Fee (USD) | Entries Allowed | Stay Per Entry | Validity Period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tourist – Single entry | $20 | 1 | Up to 30 days | 90 days |
| Tourist – Double entry | $35 | 2 | Up to 30 days each | 90 days |
| Tourist – Multiple entry | $50 | Unlimited | Up to 30 days each | 90 days |
| Business – Single entry | $40 | 1 | Up to 30 days | 90 days |
Single entry ($20) is the right choice if you plan to visit Uzbekistan once. You enter the country, stay up to 30 days, and leave. This covers most tourist trips to Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva.
Double entry ($35) works well if you plan to visit a neighboring country (like Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan) and return to Uzbekistan within your 90-day validity window. Each entry allows up to 30 days.
Multiple entry ($50) is designed for travelers who need flexible access – for example, business travelers visiting multiple cities across Central Asia or travelers combining Uzbekistan with several neighboring countries.
The 90-day validity period starts from the date your eVisa is issued, not the date you enter Uzbekistan. This means you must enter the country within 90 days of approval. Check the Uzbekistan visa processing time to plan your application timing.
Uzbekistan eVisa vs Embassy Visa Costs
The eVisa saves $40 to $230 compared to embassy visas and eliminates the need for in-person appointments. For most travelers, the electronic route is both cheaper and faster.
| Visa Route | Fee Range | Processing Time | Application Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| eVisa (single entry) | $20 | 3 business days | Online |
| eVisa (double entry) | $35 | 3 business days | Online |
| eVisa (multiple entry) | $50 | 3 business days | Online |
| Embassy (up to 1 month) | $60 + service charge | 5-10 business days | In-person |
| Embassy (up to 6 months) | $150 + service charge | 5-10 business days | In-person |
| Embassy (up to 1 year) | $250 + service charge | 5-10 business days | In-person |
Embassy visa fees vary by nationality and duration. The figures above represent typical embassy pricing and may differ depending on which country you apply from. Additional service charges of $15 or more are common at embassies.
The eVisa also saves time. While embassy processing takes 5-10 business days and requires an in-person visit, the Uzbekistan eVisa processes in approximately 3 business days entirely online. For travelers who need a Uzbekistan visa on arrival, that option exists at Tashkent airport for select nationalities but is generally less convenient than the eVisa.
When the embassy route makes sense: If you need a visa for more than 30 days, or if you need a specific visa category not available as an eVisa (such as work or student visa), you must apply through an embassy. For standard tourism, the eVisa is always the better value.
Uzbekistan Visa Fee by Nationality
Uzbekistan charges the same eVisa fee to every eligible nationality – there are no country-specific surcharges. This universal pricing model makes the Uzbekistan eVisa one of the fairest electronic visa systems in the world.
| Nationality | eVisa Fee (Single) | eVisa Fee (Double) | eVisa Fee (Multiple) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indian | $20 | $35 | $50 | Same as all nationalities |
| Pakistani | $20 | $35 | $50 | Same as all nationalities |
| Turkish | $20 | $35 | $50 | Same as all nationalities |
| British | $20 | $35 | $50 | Same as all nationalities |
| Russian | $20 | $35 | $50 | Same as all nationalities |
| All others | $20 | $35 | $50 | Universal pricing |
For Indian citizens, the approximate INR equivalents are Rs. 2,499 for single entry, Rs. 4,999 for double entry, and Rs. 6,499 for multiple entry. These conversions vary with exchange rates and your bank’s conversion fees. The portal charges in USD regardless of your nationality.
US citizens do not need an eVisa at all. Americans can enter Uzbekistan without any visa for tourism or business stays of up to 30 days. This visa-free arrangement applies to US passport holders and does not require any pre-application or fee. See our guide on Uzbekistan visa-free countries for the complete list of exempt nationalities.
For nationality-specific requirements beyond fees, check our guides for Uzbekistan visa for Indian citizens and Uzbekistan visa for Pakistani citizens.
Uzbekistan Business eVisa Fees
The Uzbekistan business eVisa costs $40 for single entry, allowing 30 days of business activities including meetings, conferences, and trade events. This is the only business-category eVisa currently available through the online portal.
| Business eVisa Type | Fee (USD) | Activities Allowed | Stay Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business – Single entry | $40 | Meetings, conferences, trade events | Up to 30 days |
The business eVisa costs $20 more than the tourist single-entry eVisa but provides authorization for commercial activities that a tourist visa may not cover. If your trip involves attending business meetings, trade conferences, or exploring commercial opportunities in Uzbekistan, the business eVisa is the appropriate choice.
For longer business stays or multiple-entry business access, you will need to apply through a Uzbekistan embassy. Embassy business visas range from $60 for one month to $250 for one year, depending on the duration and number of entries required.
Key difference: The tourist eVisa is for sightseeing, cultural activities, and visiting friends or family. The business eVisa adds authorization for commercial activities. If you are unsure which category applies to your trip, the business eVisa provides broader coverage.
How to Pay for Your Uzbekistan eVisa
Pay with any Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card – the portal charges in USD and your bank handles currency conversion automatically. The payment process is integrated directly into the official e-visa.gov.uz application workflow.
Accepted Payment Methods
- Visa credit and debit cards
- MasterCard credit and debit cards
The portal does not currently accept American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank transfers, or cryptocurrency. You must have a Visa or MasterCard to complete your application.
Payment Process
- Complete your application form at e-visa.gov.uz
- Upload your passport photo and passport scan
- Review your application details
- Enter your Visa or MasterCard details on the secure payment page
- Confirm the payment amount in USD
- Receive email confirmation of payment and application submission
Currency Conversion
The Uzbekistan eVisa fee is charged in US dollars (USD). If your card is denominated in another currency (INR, PKR, TRY, GBP, etc.), your bank will convert the amount at its current exchange rate. Your bank may apply a foreign transaction fee of 1-3% on top of the converted amount.
Tip: Some travel credit cards waive foreign transaction fees. If you have one, use it for the Uzbekistan eVisa payment to avoid the extra 1-3% charge.
What If Payment Fails?
If your payment is declined or fails during the process, your application is saved but not submitted. You can log back in and retry the payment. Common reasons for payment failure include:
- Insufficient funds
- Card not enabled for international transactions
- Bank security block on foreign payments
- Incorrect card details entered
Contact your bank before applying if you plan to use a card that has not been used for international payments recently. See our Uzbekistan visa requirements page for a complete application checklist.
Uzbekistan eVisa Fee vs Other Central Asian Countries
At $20 single entry, Uzbekistan offers one of the most affordable eVisa systems in Central Asia. Here is how Uzbekistan compares to neighboring countries.
| Country | eVisa Fee | Stay Duration | Processing Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uzbekistan | $20 | 30 days | 3 business days |
| Tajikistan | $50 | 45 days | 2-5 business days |
| Kyrgyzstan | Free (visa-free) | 60 days | N/A |
| Kazakhstan | Free (visa-free) | 30 days | N/A |
| Turkmenistan | $55+ (embassy only) | Varies | 10+ business days |
Uzbekistan’s $20 eVisa fee positions it as a mid-range option in Central Asia. Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan offer visa-free entry for many nationalities, while Tajikistan and Turkmenistan charge higher fees.
Value comparison: At $20 for 30 days, Uzbekistan costs $0.67 per day. Tajikistan’s $50 eVisa for 45 days works out to $1.11 per day. This makes Uzbekistan the better per-day value among countries that charge for electronic visas in the region.
For travelers planning a multi-country Central Asia trip, the combination of Uzbekistan’s affordable eVisa and its central location makes it an ideal base for regional exploration.
Uzbekistan Visa Extension and Overstay Fees
The Uzbekistan eVisa cannot be extended – you must exit and re-apply if you need more time, making the $20 re-application fee your only option for continued stays. This is a critical planning consideration for longer trips.
What Happens If You Overstay?
Overstaying your Uzbekistan eVisa validity (beyond 30 days per entry) has serious consequences:
- Fines: Overstay fines are assessed per day of overstay
- Detention: You may be detained at the airport during exit
- Entry ban: Repeat overstayers may face future entry bans
- Deportation: Serious overstays can result in deportation
Planning Your Stay
The 30-day per-entry limit applies to each entry, not to the total validity period. With a double-entry eVisa, you could theoretically spend 30 days in Uzbekistan, leave for a neighboring country, and return for another 30 days – all within the 90-day validity window.
Best practice: Plan to leave Uzbekistan at least 2 days before your 30-day limit expires. This gives you a buffer for unexpected delays (flight cancellations, border closures, medical issues).
If you realize you need more than 30 days, the safest option is to exit to a neighboring country (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, or Tajikistan are the most convenient) and re-enter with a new eVisa application. The $20 fee for a new single-entry eVisa is far less than any overstay fine.
