Uzbekistan announces visa-free entry for Indian citizens, allowing stays of up to 30 days. The rule applies to holders of Indian passport documents, according to reporting from multiple Indian outlets.
The announcement is linked to official talks between Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Tashkent. Outlets describe the measure as intended to facilitate travel for both tourists and business visitors, by removing the need to obtain a visa for short stays. While the outlets focus on the same duration and visa-free nature of the entry, they differ mainly in emphasis—some highlight practical implications for travellers, while others foreground the diplomatic context of the announcement during the bilateral meetings.
All accounts agree on the key terms: Uzbekistan grants visa-free access to Indians for a limited period of 30 days and the policy is newly announced as part of the president’s engagement with India’s leadership.
