Rules in force · 9Land borders between Central Asian states open and shut w…Small guesthouses in the Old City may have no night deskChorsu bazaar and the Old City lanes are crowded and uneven

Central Asia ↗Keep every hotel registration slip or its e-registration record until you leave Uzbekistan and Tajikistan; border officers can ask for proof of where you slept and fine gaps.
Central Asia ↗Land borders between Central Asian states open and shut with politics and demarcation deals; confirm the exact post is open to foreigners the week you cross.
Uzbekistan ↗Check entry rules on the official e-visa portal only; many nationalities enter without a visa for a limited stay, others need an e-visa. Lookalike sites charge extra.
Uzbekistan ↗Foreign visitors are registered by hotels; keep any registration slip you are given and ask for one if you stay in a private home.
Uzbekistan ↗Carry Uzbek soʻm in small notes; bazaars, taxis and small cafés are cash-first, and cards are accepted mainly in hotels and larger shops.
Tashkent Region ↗Jun–Aug in Tashkent is 35–40 °C by day: do outdoor sights before 11:00 and after 17:00.
Tashkent ↗Small guesthouses in the Old City may have no night desk: send your flight number and ask for the door code or a night staff member before you fly.
Tashkent ↗Chorsu bazaar and the Old City lanes are crowded and uneven: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never into the market.
Tashkent ↗The metro is open to photography in most stations; do not photograph turnstiles, guards or military staff, and follow any sign in the station.
