Is the Singapore visa free for Uzbekistan Citizens?

Goh Jun Cheng

Uzbekistan nationals must obtain a proper visa before travelling to Singapore.

Key details:

  • Uzbekistan does not have a bilateral visa waiver agreement with Singapore.
  • Uzbekistan is not included in Singapore’s visa-free access program.
  • Uzbekistan citizens cannot obtain a visa upon arrival in Singapore.
  • To legally enter Singapore, Uzbeks must apply for and receive a valid visa in advance.

Singapore Visa Options

Uzbekistan nationals have these main Singapore visa options:

  • Tourist Visa – For vacations and short visits, valid up to 30 days.
  • Business Visa – For attending conferences, meetings and training, valid to 3 months.
  • Employment Pass – For skilled professionals seeking to work in Singapore. Strict eligibility.
  • Student Pass – For full-time students at Singapore educational institutions.
  • Permanent Residence – For long-term relocation and potential citizenship. Difficult to obtain.

Conclusion

Uzbekistan citizens still need to apply for and obtain the appropriate visa before travelling to Singapore. They currently do not qualify for visa-free entry like citizens of certain developed countries.

Hopefully in the future Uzbeks may gain visa-free access to Singapore, but for now advance visa application is required. Check with the Singapore embassy for current requirements.
