Registration in Uzbekistan
Updated April, 2011
Registration Requirements for Americans in Uzbekistan
The immigration regulations of Uzbekistan require that all foreigners present in Uzbekistan be registered with the local authorities immediately upon arrival in Uzbekistan. Tourists staying in hotels and students living in dormitories are automatically registered. Students studying in Uzbekistan are not allowed to lease apartments or houses; they are supposed to live in an appropriate dormitory. All other foreigners must register themselves with a local (district or city level) Office of Entry, Exit and Citizenship (OEE&&C). Tourist visas cannot be extended in Uzbekistan and require the holder to reside at hotels rather than private residences during their stay in the country. Visitors staying in the country up to 3 days do not need to register. In the absence of registration, foreigners are liable to pay fines.
