Re: Uzbekistan closed 20 Aug - 5 Sep
Crossed from Tashkent to Shymkent tofay. Uzbek and Kazakh people told me that till the 4th of September you can not cross the border to Uzbekistan from Shymkent. I don't know if it also counts for foreigners. Leaving Uzbekistan does not seem a problem.

Re: Unrest in Central Asia - fall 2016 edition
Im in Tashkent now, business as usual, only every 500 meters there are police checking cars. In general there is much more police on the streets. I think getting into Tashkent with car from other cities can be difficult maybe. Tomorrow I am leaving to Shymkent, Kazakhstan, will let you know how it w...

Where to buy souvenirs in Uzbekistan?
Hello everyone, does anyone know which city is the best place to buy souvenirs? Right now I am in Bukhara, many souvenir shops but they all seem the sell the same.

Re: Uzbekistan closed 20 Aug - 5 Sep
I wanted to enter Uzbekistan around the 20th. And leaving to Shimkent before the 30th. The embassy in Bishkek just gave my visa 4 days ago for the period of 10th of August till 4th of September. Does a closed border also means you can not exit?

Re: Embassy report: Uzbek visa in Bishkek
Both on the offical online application form and invitation letter it doesnt say where you exit or enter, only the cities you would like to visit. The cities should be in the right order of visiting. So if you enter near tashkent but the first city on your application form is khiva, you might have a ...

Re: Itinerary
I read if you have a registration every three days it is ok. So 1 day at a hotel/hostel with registration and 2 days at a homestay should be possible. You can also just buy a registration at hotels or hostels I believe. Or just book a room and do check-in but actually not staying there, yet you have...

Re: Embassy report: Uzbek visa in Bishkek
Hello everyone,
When applying for visa do you only need your passport and the LOI, or also passport photos, etc.?
