All international students need to obtain a VISA to come to Uzbekistan to study at the University. Citizens of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, and Ukraine DO NOT NEED A VISA to enter the Republic of Uzbekistan.  We do not recommend entering Uzbekistan on a visitor’s visa to be registered as a student at a later date. You should only enter the country with a student visa.
