Official guidance confirms visa-free travel between Uzbekistan and Russia but requires Uzbek citizens to use a biometric passport and register with the migration authorities within seven working days. Those intending to work in Russia must state employment as the purpose of entry and obtain a patent.
According to official guidance, visa-free entry to Russia does not exempt Uzbek citizens from migration-registration requirements. For employment, the stated purpose of entry, the migration card and obtaining a patent are critical; violations may result in fines, deportation and restrictions on future entry. This directly affects Uzbek citizens planning to work or temporarily reside in Russia. The guidance is worth reviewing before travel because registration and document errors can affect the ability to stay and work legally.
