Visa and passport requirements, travel, airport assistance and customs rules for your trip to Samarkand.
Visa & passport requirements
All delegates and participants must ensure their passport is valid for at least six months beyond the intended period of stay. If required, please arrange your visa for entry into the Republic of Uzbekistan in advance.
Those who require a visa are advised to contact the nearest diplomatic mission of the Republic of Uzbekistan in their country of residence. Where no diplomatic mission is available, a visa may be obtained on arrival, provided a valid passport and a recent photo are uploaded during registration. Further details are available on the Summit website.
Check the current visa requirements on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website: gov.uz — MFA visa FAQ.
