They can help with inquiries about programs, application requirements, study abroad opportunities, and more.

Uzbekistan offers various entry requirements for citizens of European countries, depending on the country of citizenship. As of February 2019, Uzbekistan introduced a visa-free regime for citizens of all European Union countries (with the exception of France and Germany, which were included earlier), allowing them to enter Uzbekistan without a visa for up to 30 days. This move was part of a broader initiative to ease entry requirements and promote tourism and business exchanges between Uzbekistan and other countries.
Travelers are required to have a valid passport, and it's recommended that the passport be valid for a minimum of six months from the date of entry into Uzbekistan.
In addition to visa and passport requirements, travelers should stay informed about local laws, customs, and any travel advisories.
For citizens of other European countries contemplating a visit to Uzbekistan, it's advisable to check the current entry requirements with the nearest Uzbekistan embassy or consulate as these policies can change.
For more information, visit the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan: https://www.mfa.uz/en/pages/visa-republic-uzb
Moreover, all visitors should follow the guidance of national and local authorities during their stay in Uzbekistan and remain vigilant, especially when traveling to border areas or regions with heightened security concerns.
