RequiredApply at e-visa.gov.uz: select your country of nationality, travel document type, and purpose of visit; choose your dates of stay; enter your biographical details; upload your photo and passport copy; and activate the application via a code sent to your email. If your nationality isn't on Uzbekistan's e-visa/simplified-procedure list, the portal will direct you to apply through a Uzbekistan diplomatic mission or consulate instead, which requires 2 printed copies of the application form and 2 color passport-style photos (35x45mm). Dual/multiple citizens must apply using the same passport they intend to enter Uzbekistan with.

If you're under 16 and travel with a legal representative: you may enter without your own visa
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says foreign citizens under 16 who are accompanied by their legal representatives, and who hold a biometric travel document, can enter without a visa. This lasts for the duration of the accompanying person's visa, and for no more than 90 days from arrival. The page doesn't explain how this works if the adult is visa-exempt, so confirm with an Uzbek embassy before you travel without a visa for your child.

Why applications on this route get refused
Visa details don't match your travel document
Uzbekistan's own rules state that if there's a discrepancy between the information on the issued e-visa and your travel document, the e-visa is considered invalid.
How to avoid it: Enter your details exactly as printed on the passport you'll actually travel with, and double check before submitting.
Applying through the wrong channel for your nationality
The e-visa system is only available to nationalities on Uzbekistan's e-visa/simplified-procedure list; everyone else needs to apply through a Uzbekistan diplomatic mission instead.
How to avoid it: If the e-visa portal doesn't recognize your nationality as eligible, contact the nearest Uzbekistan embassy or consulate rather than trying to force an online application.
Application refused without a stated reason
A refusal notice is emailed to the applicant, but the consular fee that funded the review is non-refundable regardless of the outcome.
How to avoid it: Make sure every field is accurate and complete before paying, since there's no way to recover the fee if the application is refused.
