Uzbekistan and the EU Begin Consultations on Visa Facilitation

Published: 03.11.2026

Uzbekistan and the European Union have launched expert-level consultations on simplifying visa procedures for Uzbek citizens. The discussions cover travel for work, study, transport, and tourism.

According to the source, the sides have begun consultations, but this is a preparatory process rather than a new visa regime. Future arrangements could make travel to the EU easier for Uzbek citizens seeking work, study, transport, or tourism opportunities. Potential labor migrants, students, transport workers, and frequent applicants are the main groups affected. The development is worth monitoring for anyone planning relocation or an extended stay in the EU, while current visa requirements remain applicable.
