Registration rules
If entry by a citizen of the Russian Federation is short-term, it is sufficient to present a travel document and fill out paperwork at customs. The maximum period for staying in the country in Tashkent and other cities is 60 days. Registration with the police is required no later than three days from the date of arrival. Only holidays and weekends are not taken into account.
Quote. The clearest thing is when the foreigner himself knows exactly where he will live before registering. Then it is at this address that registration is carried out. It is much more difficult if you have plans to stay in a hotel in Tashkent or other cities. It is necessary to choose hotels that have received special licenses to provide services. If the document is available, then registration for citizens of Uzbekistan is organized by responsible employees.
The foreign citizen is given a check to confirm this procedure. It must be stored until the business trip or other type of stay ends.
There are only some restrictions on the number of items that can be carried:
- Up to $300 if someone travels by car or on foot from Russia and other countries.
- Up to $1000 in the case of river or rail transport.
- $2000 – when it comes to international airports. Uzbekistan organizes migration registration in this case as well.
Survey
Journalists from the website KUN.UZ sent to the press service of the Tashkent City Internal Affairs Directorate a question raised in the telegram channel xushnudbek.uz: Why is a citizen who bought an apartment in a new building and, on the basis of paragraph 1 of the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 527, registered in the capital, denied registration in the housing purchased by him of his adult child (daughter or son is not specified) with his spouse and their minor children.
We inform you that the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated July 19, 2021 No. PKM-527 established the procedure for the acquisition of housing in the city of Tashkent and the Tashkent region by citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan, foreign states and stateless persons permanently residing in other regions.
In the Directive of the Main Directorate of Migration and Registration of Citizenship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated December 14, 2021 No. 22/25297, it is determined that, on the basis of the above resolution, the privatization of real estate by individuals who do not have permanent registration in the city of Tashkent and the Tashkent region is carried out after notarization of real estate and registration in the state register. Registration for this living space of citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan, foreign states and stateless persons permanently residing in other regions is carried out on the basis of paragraph 1 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On the list of categories of persons - citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan, subject to permanent registration in the city of Tashkent and the Tashkent region” ( No. ZRU-296 dated September 14, 2011).
The Directive of the GUMIOG of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan determines that persons who have received registration on the basis of paragraph 1 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On the list of categories of persons - citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan, subject to permanent registration in the city of Tashkent and the Tashkent region” can register the following relatives for the living space purchased in the capital : spouse and their children who do not have their own families, as well as joint minor children and (or) children born from a previous marriage, as well as those born without a registered marriage and adopted children. The specified list of persons is exhaustive.
Since the citizen, who was discussed in the question sent by journalists from the KUN.UZ website, has an adult child and has his own family (spouse and child), guided by the mentioned act of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan, the citizen was denied registration of his family child with him.
Migration registration
Upon arrival in Uzbekistan, any foreigner and others are issued a special migration card. The document is issued at the passport counter or directly on the plane. Airfield staff and flight attendants can provide assistance to those who are having trouble filling. The applicant personally fills out the application form using Latin capital letters. Temporary registration in Uzbekistan also requires this.
The card must contain reliable information on the following issues:
- Place of residence.
- Deadlines.
- Other travel related features.
One part of the card is taken by border guards, the second remains with travelers. This makes it easier for them to control how long they can stay in the state.
There is a category of goods and products for which import from Uzbekistan is completely prohibited:
- Jewelry.
- Drugs with narcotic effects.
- Piercing objects, firearms.
- Medicines for which there is no prescription.
- Animals.
- Fruits and vegetables.
- Information materials that are dangerous for others. For Russians, temporary registration requires compliance with approximately the same rules.
Quote. If a foreigner lives with relatives or friends, then it is they who turn to the regulatory authorities to submit all the necessary documents. The corresponding stamp in the passport should appear when the procedure is completed. For Russians, temporary registration is somewhat different.
If there are no stamps in passports, there is a high probability that the citizen will be brought to administrative responsibility. Even if you have a visa, you may be prohibited from further visiting the country. It doesn’t matter how long you have been on the territory.
Currently, entry is carried out only on the basis of new biometric passports, registration for which is carried out separately. You can travel using old forms of papers only if they were previously used to enter the country.
It is necessary to have special certificates for travel.
The total initial period of stay without additional processing and registration is 90 days. Then we need to return abroad. An exception is for those who have issued at least a patent or have undergone temporary registration. In this case, it is permissible to stay on the territory of the state until the agreement expires. Particular attention is paid to filling out items related to the purpose of entry.

Ask a Question
In Uzbekistan, foreigners have been relieved of responsibility for temporary registration
A decree of the government of Uzbekistan dated May 29 abolished the liability of foreign citizens staying in the country and placed in accommodation facilities, medical institutions and other residential premises for violating the rules of temporary registration.
Responsibility for the temporary registration of foreign citizens and stateless persons, as well as citizens of the CIS member states, except for foreigners traveling on their own, rests with those inviting or receiving persons (tour operators, administration of accommodation facilities and medical institutions, as well as owners of residential premises).
As the press service of the State Committee for Tourism clarified, previously foreign citizens themselves were responsible for temporary registration. In case of violation of the law, they had to pay a fine of 50 to 100 times the minimum wage (from 8.6 to 17.2 million soums or 1,073 to 2,146 US dollars).
In accordance with the new procedure, inviting or receiving persons provide temporary registration of foreign citizens by online notification through a special program , which should be launched in the near future, or by contacting the department of internal affairs.
Temporary registration is carried out upon arrival at the destination within three days, excluding holidays and weekends (Sundays). The three-day period is counted from 01:00 the next day after the date of arrival.
Foreign citizens traveling are exempt from temporary registration In this case, it is necessary to have documents confirming the fact of stay (for example, receiving services or purchasing goods). There is no requirement for continuous registration in one locality.
Foreign citizens traveling independently, living in tent camps or ground transport converted into overnight accommodation facilities, can obtain temporary registration by sending an online notification and indicating the settlements along the route.
In addition, they can contact tourist information centers or nearby accommodation facilities. In this case, the administrations of tourist information centers and accommodation facilities are required to send a notification to the internal affairs bodies, filling in the data of foreign citizens based on their requests.
Previously, the legislation of Uzbekistan did not allow individual tourists to stay in tent camps or in land transport adapted for living.
The resolution abolished the state duty for temporary registration of foreigners for a period of up to one month. Previously, for foreign citizens and stateless persons it was $20, and for citizens of the CIS countries - $5. At the same time , a differentiated tourist (hotel) tax has been introduced instead of a single fee of 10% of the minimum wage per day of stay charged by accommodation facilities.
Now the tourist tax is charged only from persons over 16 years of age in the following amounts: hotels and similar accommodation facilities - from 5% to 15% of the minimum wage (2% of the minimum wage is added for each star rating), sanatoriums and resorts - 10%, specialized places of accommodation for recreation and leisure organizations - 10%, individual accommodation facilities (dachas, private houses, apartments, yurts, hostels and others) - 5%.
When staying in tent camps and ground transport adapted for overnight stays, tourists themselves or through a tour operator, tourist information office or accommodation facility pay a fee of 5% of the minimum wage.
When staying in medical institutions, in guest houses (organized in the houses of the local population in rural areas) or in private houses and apartments for non-commercial purposes, the tourist fee will be 2% of the minimum wage per day.
Foreign citizens traveling independently (living in tent camps or in adapted transport) in case of failure to register and fail to pay the tourist tax, pay a fine of 10 times the amount of the unpaid tourist tax.

conclusions
Uzbekistan is one of Russia's economic partners. But even this status does not relieve one from the obligation to follow the letters of the law when a citizen enters the territory of the state. Remembering the rules for preparing documents is not as difficult as solving the above issues. There are now a large number of intermediaries offering relevant services to support the entire process. It is permissible to conduct initial consultations both with control authorities and with the intermediaries themselves at their location. Then the citizen himself makes a decision on how to proceed.
Registration in Uzbekistan for Russians at the place of stay 2021
The issuance of an official work permit is carried out after the provision of a valid work contract and a letter of guarantee from the employer. If a Russian goes on a long business trip, he must submit a letter of invitation from the host party, a certificate from the place of work about the dates and nature of the proposed trip, as well as documents confirming the existence of close business ties between the counterparties.
The situation is understandable if the foreigner knows exactly where he will live. In this case, registration is carried out at the place of residence. The case when a citizen intends to stay in a hotel is a little more complicated. The difficulty is that the hotel must have a special license to provide accommodation services for foreigners. If such a license is available, then registration is carried out by hotel employees.
Uzbekistan and the Russian Federation do not have a common border, so most often Russians undergo passport control at one of the international airports or at ground checkpoints on the border with Kazakhstan. When crossing the border under a visa-free regime, in addition to presenting a foreign passport, every Russian must fill out a customs declaration in two copies: one copy, the person crossing the border must hand over to a customs officer, and keep the other for the entire period of stay on the territory of the state.
In 2013, the government of the Russian Federation announced that a visa regime with the Uzbek republic would be introduced in the near future. The fact that a visa regime will be introduced was also voiced by the Ambassador at Large of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
If the amount of money that a foreigner brings with him is more than 2 thousand dollars, this money will need to be declared. And when leaving the country, the following requirement must be observed: when leaving, there cannot be more money than when entering. If there is more money, you will need to provide a document confirming the legality of this operation. Restrictions also include jewelry, the quantity of which should not exceed 5 units and weight 30 grams.
Important! From 2021, a foreigner cannot register at his place of work. This is only possible if the foreign citizen actually resides at the address of employment. You can learn more about Federal Law No. 163 of June 27, 2018 on changes to the rules for migration registration of foreigners here.
Also, changes to migration legislation were made in August of the same year. Now the receiving party is entrusted with the obligation to notify employees of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs not only about the arrival, but also the departure of a foreign citizen from the place of stay. Read more about this here.
- Initially, a citizen of Uzbekistan in Moscow needs to find a place for temporary registration - this is the address of his actual residence in the Russian Federation. It is worth remembering that an Uzbek citizen has the right to register only with the consent of the host person, who is the owner of the living space.
According to legislative act No. 109 “On migration registration of foreign citizens and stateless persons in the Russian Federation,” all residents of other states who arrived in the Russian Federation in 2021 are required to register in this country within 7 days from the moment of crossing the border.
With a foreign passport, things are a little more complicated. The thing is that until 2014, citizens of Uzbekistan could cross the Russian border without a foreign passport, but with a national passport. In Uzbekistan, the concept of “foreign passport” does not exist at all, but since 2015, the Russian government introduced a new law regulating entry into the territory of this country only with such a document of any type. Therefore, many Uzbeks urgently began to make themselves new biometric passports, which serve as both a civil and foreign identity document.
