Exercise increased caution with higher advice levels in some areas

Overview

There are more significant safety or security concerns in Uzbekistan than you would usually find in New Zealand because of the threat of terrorism and violent crime. 

Dual citizenship is not recognised in Uzbekistan, which may limit our ability to provide consular assistance if you hold both Uzbek and New Zealand citizenship. 

Other things New Zealanders travelling or living in Uzbekistan should be aware of are: 

  • Crime – watch out for petty crime. Do not walk alone and be cautious after dark. 
  • Civil unrest – avoid demonstrations, protests and rallies.
  • Health – Uzbekistan has strict rules about importing prescription medication. 
  • Local laws and customs – learn the laws and follow them. Respect religious and social traditions.
