Uzbekistan and China will implement a mutual visa-free travel regime beginning June 1, following the completion of all required internal procedures on both sides, the Uzbek Foreign Ministry announced.
Starting June 1, 2025, citizens of Uzbekistan and China will be able to travel between the two countries without a visa, in accordance with a bilateral agreement signed in December 2024. The Uzbek Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that both governments have finalized all necessary internal processes to bring the agreement into force.
Under the terms of the agreement, nationals of both countries will be permitted to enter, exit, transit, or stay in the other country without a visa for up to 30 days per visit. However, the total period of stay must not exceed 90 days within any 180-day period.
The visa exemption does not apply to individuals planning to remain in the host country for more than 30 days, nor to those entering for employment, education, journalism, or other activities that require prior authorization from the respective authorities.
Additionally, the agreement does not cover travel to China’s Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, which will continue to require separate visa arrangements.
