Как оформить визу в Дубай для граждан Узбекистана

This article is about how to get a visa to Dubai for citizens of Uzbekistan. Over the past decade, the UAE has significantly expanded economic and cultural ties with many post-Soviet countries. Uzbekistan was no exception. Citizens of this country are increasingly traveling to work, study, treatment or vacation in the Emirates. Therefore, more and more people are interested in the issues of obtaining the necessary documents for themselves and family members.

Let’s take a closer look at what types of visas exist, what documents will be required to obtain an entry permit and why the applicant may be denied entry.

Do I need a visa for Uzbek citizens?

Yes, I do. In order to strengthen interstate ties, the Government of Uzbekistan unilaterally decided to abolish visas for citizens of the Arab Emirates arriving in this Central Asian republic. However, there has been no response from the UAE yet. Therefore, Uzbekistanis, regardless of the purpose of the visit, must issue visa permits, and do it in advance, since by the time of arrival the stamp must be in the passport.

Classification of visas by purpose of stay

Visa permits are disposable and reusable. A regular tour visa is a one-time visa, issued for 30 days and can be used only for a single border crossing. This type of permit document is most in demand. But there are other types:

working, issued to the applicant upon presentation of a work contract;
business, necessary for those who have decided to establish a business in the principality: an invitation is required to receive it;
educational – for schoolchildren and students who want to study at any local educational institution;
humanitarian for representatives of scientific circles or charitable organizations, athletes;
official for diplomats, special representatives of various industries;
for the bride;
for family reunion;
for treatment;
for wholesale purchases.

Where to register?

Since it is necessary to arrive in Dubai with a visa, it is better to do this in advance while at home. You can contact the UAE Embassy located in Tashkent at 38 Nasaf Street or do everything online on the websites:
