उज़्बेकिस्तान: यात्रा से पहले क्या जानें
सबसे ज़रूरी
- Registration is mandatory: hotels register you automatically; in private flats your host must register you via E-mehmon (FCDO: within 3 days of arrival). Missing registration means fines or deportation.
- Fill in the customs declaration in two copies on entry and keep the stamped copy — you can't leave with more foreign cash than you declared on arrival.
- Drones are effectively banned without an import licence; codeine and some other medicines are restricted — check before you fly.
- Russian-issued Mir, Visa and Mastercard cards don't work; bring USD/EUR cash or a non-Russian card.
- US citizens have been visa-free for 30 days since 1 Jan 2026; British and EU citizens also 30 days. Get an entry stamp — overstays are fined.

पैसे
नकद और कार्ड दोनों चलते हैं. कार्ड मुख्यतः शहरों और पर्यटन स्थलों में चलते हैं.
भुगतान नेटवर्क: Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay
Apple Pay — कुछ जगहों पर काम करता है · Google Pay — कुछ जगहों पर काम करता है
पैसे कहाँ बदलें
- Banks and official exchange booths (e.g. in bank branches, hotels) — rates are close to the official one
- ATMs in Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara for UZS (some dispense USD)
कहाँ न बदलें
- Street money changers (illegal, risk of fake notes)
- Dynamic currency conversion
एटीएम: ATMs accept foreign Visa/Mastercard in big cities; some fail — have a backup card and cash. Carry plenty of cash outside major cities.
टिप: Many restaurants add 10–15% service; otherwise rounding up is enough.
- Russian cards (Mir, Visa, Mastercard) don't work; some Russian UnionPay cards reportedly do. QR payments via some Russian bank apps work at connected merchants.
- Local payment apps (Click, Payme) need an Uzbek card.
