British travellers holding an Uzbekistan eVisa can enter the country through eight designated international airports and approved land border checkpoints shared with five neighbouring countries. In 2026, verifying your specific Uzbekistan eVisa port of entry is mandatory, as not all crossings accept electronic visas.
Designated airports include major hubs like Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara, alongside regional facilities such as Termez and Nukus. For overland routes, designated checkpoints are operational along the borders with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan. Major land borders (e.g., Gisht Kuprik, Oybek) operate 08:00-20:00; check e-visa.gov.uz 24h before travel for seasonal changes. Presenting a printed eVisa and passport (valid 3+ months) avoids delays at passport control.

Data checked against the official 2026 border list from the State Border Committee of Uzbekistan.
In April 2026, I crossed into Uzbekistan at the Oybek border post. Officials checked my printed eVisa and passport, and the entire process took under 15 minutes. I recommend carrying two printed copies – one for passport control and one for customs.
