Current Travel Situation
Uzbekistan to Germany: What You Need to Know
Germany has been a significant destination for Uzbek students, academics, and professionals, particularly given strong academic and cultural exchange programs between the two countries. The German Embassy in Tashkent processes a growing number of Schengen visa applications. A German Schengen visa allows travel throughout all 27 Schengen countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Uzbekistan and Germany have strengthened bilateral relations in recent years, with Germany interested in Uzbekistan as a Central Asian partner.
How to Get There
Uzbekistan Airways flies Tashkent (TAS) to Frankfurt (FRA) directly. Turkish Airlines via Istanbul and Lufthansa via Frankfurt (with a Central Asia connection) are also popular options. From Frankfurt, Germany's intercity rail (ICE) reaches Berlin (4 hours), Munich (3.5 hours), Hamburg (4 hours), and all major cities.
Money & Banking
Germany uses the euro. Uzbek cards (UzCard, Humo) are not accepted abroad. Bring EUR cash or a Wise/Revolut prepaid card loaded with euros before departure. Germany is moderately expensive; budget EUR 80-120 per day for mid-range accommodation and meals. Supermarkets and budget accommodation chains (ibis, B&B Hotels) offer good value.
Practical Tips
Appointment slots at the German Embassy in Tashkent can be scarce, especially during peak periods. Apply as soon as your travel dates are confirmed. First-time applicants should aim for a single-entry visa with clear travel plans. Multiple-entry visas are possible for those with a solid travel history.
