Who Needs a Business Visa?
All Indian nationals traveling to Uzbekistan for official, commercial, or investment-related activities must apply for a Business Visa or Business e-Visa prior to travel.
This visa is required for those visiting to:
Attend business meetings, corporate events, or trade exhibitions
Negotiate contracts or sign agreements with Uzbek firms
Participate in market visits, training, or professional seminars
