IPOLICE REGISTRATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN

1According to the laws of Uzbekistan, you must be registered by the Uzbek authorities within 3 days from arrival, incl the arrival day.

2Registration is handled automatically through the Hotels or guesthouses you stay at. You are required to keep the registration slips attached to your passport until your final departure.

3With a tourist visa you are therefore required to stay at legal guesthouses or hotels AT ALL TIMES throughout your stay. Homestays, camping and couchsurfing are NOT an option.

4In case of a gap in your registrations, subsequent hotels may not accept you or you may even be refused to be issued tickets at bus or railway stations.

5Registration may be checked at police checks throughout your trip or at passport control upon departure. The official penalty for not registering is about USD 1,000 per person and may result in immediate deportation at your own cost. Neither your Embassy nor any friends in Uzbekistan can do anything to circumvent this rule.

6In case of any issues with registration or problems with the authorities you need to oblige to contact the inviting organisation immediately under the contact provided with the invitation.

IICUSTOMS DECLARATION

1Upon arrival you are required to declare any amount exceeding USD 500 per person in duplicate.

2We recommend to declare all cash in all currencies. You should keep a stamped duplicate of the declaration until departure.

3Failure to present a declaration covering all amounts you have on you on exit may result in legal confiscation of your cash and a fine.

4We strongly advise against hiding your money and you need to keep your cash ready for inspection for all border crossings AT CUSTOMS CONTROL (nowhere else).

III VISA ISSUANCE

1The dates you set on your application will normally correspond to the ones fixed on your visa. You will be able to enter and exit anytime within the OUTER dates you set, for the number of times you apply for.

2While the entry- and exit point and route will not be indicated on your visa - The visa pick-up location / Consulate you put down on your application and the number of entries cannot usually be changed.

3With the LOI and visa application form we will send you the visa will be issued within a few days at the UZ Embassies in the west or on the spot at most UZ Consulates in Asia.

4The cost of the visa is USD 70...150 depending on your passport and the type of visa you are getting. Apart from LOI & application form, at the time of application you usually need to provide an empty page in your passport, a passport size photograph, and USD cash payment for the visa. Additional documents may be required depending on the Consulate.

5While visa issuance is normally just a formality, neither STANtours nor the inviting organisation can be held responsible for any errors on the visa whether they impact your trip or not - this includes dates and number of entries. Visa extensions are difficult and costly.
