A biometric or regular passport valid for more than 3 months on the day of crossing the border and insurance.
For children:
- birth certificate;
- permission to travel from parents.
☝🏻 Important!
When traveling to Uzbekistan, you need to be vigilant and take care of your life and health. Remember that a reliable insurance policy is the key to your confidence while traveling. Do not risk your own finances and health, choose insurance with a guaranteed payment and let your trip leave only pleasant memories :)
How much money do you need to cross the border?
When planning a trip to Uzbekistan, tourists are usually advised to budget from $50 per day, depending on the route and style of travel. There is no fixed minimum amount, but your financial solvency may be checked at the border. Currency amounts exceeding the equivalent of 100,000,000 UZS (approximately $8,000) must be declared upon entry.
Possibility to extend short-term stays and visas for Ukrainian citizens
Ukraine and Uzbekistan have a visa-free regime. According to the legislation of the country, all foreigners are obliged to register within 3 days with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This also applies to all citizens who arrived in Uzbekistan after February 24, 2022.
To extend your registration in Uzbekistan, you need to leave and enter the country.
Crossing the border with pets
The owner of the pet with which he/she will cross the border must have documentary evidence of vaccination, i.e. have a veterinary passport with all relevant vaccines and a document issued by a veterinarian for crossing the border.
What to do if your foreign passport is about to expire
As of October 29, 2025, Ukraine has abolished the military rule that allowed foreign passports to be extended and information about children to be added to them. Now, only valid biometric passports are accepted for travel abroad.
Therefore, if your document has been “extended” or information about children has been added to it, you need to apply for a new biometric passport.
Where can you apply for a new passport?
- In Ukraine — at the offices of the State Migration Service, CNAAs, or branches of the State Enterprise “Document”.
- Abroad — at embassies or consulates of Ukraine, as well as at branches of the State Enterprise “Document”, if they operate in your country.
If you are abroad and have an “extended” passport
If the border service of another country does not allow you to leave or does not accept the document when entering Ukraine, contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Ukraine.
There you can obtain an identity card for return to Ukraine (the so-called “white passport”). It is issued on the day of application — free of charge for children under 16 and for a consular fee for adults.
