Do Uzbek Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?

Fortunately, since August 2023, Vietnam has expanded its electronic visa (e-Visa) program to include all nationalities, making the process highly convenient for Uzbek passport holders. You no longer need to physically visit an embassy for standard tourist or business trips—you can complete the entire application online.

- **Connecting Hubs:** The most common routes involve a single layover in Seoul (via Asiana Airlines), Bangkok, or Chinese hubs (such as via China Southern or China Eastern). - **Seasonal Charters:** Depending on the season, airlines like Centrum Air and Uzbekistan Airways occasionally offer direct or charter flights straight to popular Vietnamese coastal destinations like Nha Trang (CXR) and Phu Quoc (PQC).
When booking your trip, we recommend securing your e-Visa before buying non-refundable tickets.
