Required documents
8 itemsIdentity
Copy of your passport for the school's invitation
RequiredYour school needs a copy of your passport to file with its invitation, along with its own papers (such as its license or certificate).
Electronic application form from visa.mfa.uz
RequiredAn electronic application form made on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa website. Your school includes it with its invitation.
Two colour photos
RequiredTwo colour passport-size photos, 35 x 45 mm.
Two completed visa application forms
RequiredTwo copies of the visa application form, fully filled in, handed in at the embassy or consulate.
Valid passport
RequiredYour passport must stay valid for at least 3 months longer than the visa you're applying for. Bring it to the Uzbek embassy or consulate.
Purpose of travel
Visa confirmation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
RequiredUzbek missions abroad issue the visa based on a confirmation from the Ministry's Consular and Legal Department. The Ministry reviews requests within 4 working days.
Visa request from your school in Uzbekistan
RequiredThe A-1 student visa is issued at the request of your educational institution (or the ministry or organisation it belongs to). The school sends an invitation-application to the Consular and Legal Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For short exchange study at a university, the STD visa works the same way.
Travel
Air ticket copy (if getting the visa at Tashkent airport)
If there is no Uzbek embassy or consulate in your country, the visa can be issued at Tashkent International Airport. Your school must get a confirmation from the Ministry first and send it to you, and it files a copy of your air ticket or booking.
Why applications on this route get refused
No visa confirmation from the Ministry
Missions issue visas based on a confirmation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is issued from the school's invitation. Without it, the mission has nothing to issue the visa on.
How to avoid it: Make sure your school has filed its invitation and the confirmation is ready before you visit the mission.
Passport not valid long enough
Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the end of the visa; a shorter validity does not meet the rule.
How to avoid it: Check your passport end date against the visa length (up to 1 year) and renew first if needed.
Relying on a short visa-free stay for long study
Visa-free stays for some countries are limited (for example, 60 days for Kyrgyzstan and 30 days for Tajikistan). The page says anyone who needs to stay longer must hand in documents for an entry visa.
How to avoid it: If your visa-free stay has a day limit, ask your school to start the student visa request before that limit runs out.
