President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed Visa Procedures Simplification for Citizens of the Turkish Republic Decree Saturday, aimed at “enhancing the political, trade-economic, scientific-technical and cultural cooperation of Uzbekistan with Turkey”, the Uzbek Tourism Development Committee (TDC) said.
As noted in the document, one year multiple business visas for Turkish citizens to visit Uzbekistan will be processed within three working days. At the same time, the requirement of application by a legal entity in Uzbekistan to the Uzbek Foreign Ministry has been scrapped.
