A Schengen visa opens up travel to most European Union countries and several other European states. For citizens of Uzbekistan it’s a required document for a tourist trip to Italy, France, Spain, the Czech Republic, Greece and other Schengen countries. The process takes preparation, but with a careful approach it’s quite manageable.

Rules are given as of October 2026 and may change: check with our manager or the official embassy website before you travel.

Where to Apply

The main rule is to apply to the consulate of your main destination, meaning the country where you’ll spend the most nights. If you’re visiting several countries and spending equal time in each, apply to the consulate of your first country of entry.

Not every Schengen country has a consulate in Tashkent. In that case, applications may be handled by another country under a representation agreement or by a visa centre. Our manager will tell you where to apply in your particular case.

How the Process Works

Choose your route. First the itinerary and dates are set, as they determine the consulate.
Book an appointment. Appointments are booked through the visa centre or consulate. In holiday season, free slots can be scarce.
Gather documents. Prepare the documents on the specific consulate’s list.
Submit your application. In person, giving biometrics if required.
Processing and passport collection. The decision is made by the consulate.

What Is Usually Required

The exact list varies between countries, but in most cases it includes:

a completed application form and a photo in the required format;
a passport valid for long enough after your return, with blank pages;
medical insurance valid in all Schengen countries for the whole trip;
accommodation and flight bookings or an itinerary;
a letter from your employer or business documents, with separate proof for students and pensioners;
proof of sufficient funds, such as a bank statement.

For children, a birth certificate is usually needed and, if the child isn’t travelling with both parents, consent from the other parent. Check the requirements for these documents in advance.

How to Lower the Risk of Refusal

The consulate assesses whether the purpose of your trip is clear and whether you have reasons to return home. So it’s important to:

state your real itinerary and stick to it;
submit documents that are consistent with each other: the dates of your bookings, leave and insurance should match;
show stable employment and finances;
not hide previous refusals if the form asks about them.

A good visa history, meaning previous trips abroad where you kept to the permitted stay, also helps.

Processing Times and Fees

Fees and processing times are set by the consulates and change over time, so we don’t list them here. The general advice is to start preparing several months before your trip, especially if it falls in summer or over New Year.

Where to Start

If you’re still choosing where to go, see our guide to sightseeing tours of Europe. For a first trip, people often choose Italy or France: the route is easy to plan and the programme is packed.

When to Apply

Consulates usually accept applications no earlier than a certain period before the trip and no later than a certain period before it, so applying too early isn’t possible either. Aim to book your appointment as soon as you’ve settled on your route and booked accommodation. Before the summer holidays and New Year, visa centres are busy and finding a free appointment can be difficult.

Multiple-Entry Visa

If you’ve travelled to Schengen countries before and complied with the conditions of your previous visas, the consulate may issue a multiple-entry visa for a longer period. This isn’t guaranteed and depends on the consulate’s decision, but a clean visa history improves your chances.
