Visa and working hours
Digital nomad visa available
Uzbekistan offers a Digital Nomad Visa (also called the "Uzbekistan Online Work Visa") that allows foreign nationals to work remotely from the country for up to one year. The visa is specifically designed for self-employed individuals and business owners, costs $20, and takes up to 10 business days to process.
Applicants need a valid passport with at least six months' validity and two clear visa pages, completed application form, accommodation bookings, international health insurance covering Uzbekistan, recent bank statement, proof of employment or income, and health insurance certificate. The application process involves submitting documents online, waiting for email approval, then receiving a visa stamp upon arrival in Uzbekistan.
The visa fee is $20 with processing taking up to 10 business days. Successful applicants are notified via email and receive their visa stamp at immigration when entering Uzbekistan. The visa allows remote work for up to one year, making it suitable for digital nomads planning extended stays in Central Asia.
Working hours
Tashkent operates on Uzbekistan Time, which is GMT+5 throughout the year, as the country does not observe daylight saving time, making visiting during the summer months marginally better for maintaining alignment with Europe.
If you are maintaining hours with European colleagues, this means a later start to your working day. I would generally start around 10:00 and finish up at some point in the early evening.
Personally, I found this a great structure as you could enjoy a leisurely morning heading to the gym or for a coffee, whilst still having enough time to make the most of your evening without altering your schedule as significantly as somewhere like Thailand.
The sun sets later in the evening compared to more easterly Almaty, giving you a better balance in the evenings to explore the outdoors.
