Узбекистан: что знать перед поездкой

Главное

  • 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.

Деньги

Платят и наличными, и картами. Карты принимают в основном в городах и туристических местах.

Платёжные системы: Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay

Apple Pay — работает не везде · Google Pay — работает не везде

Где выгодно менять

  • 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)

Где лучше не менять

  • Street money changers (illegal, risk of fake notes)
  • Dynamic currency conversion

Банкоматы: ATMs accept foreign Visa/Mastercard in big cities; some fail — have a backup card and cash. Carry plenty of cash outside major cities.

Чаевые: 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.
