Getting the Uzbekistan visa is a little bit more complicated as we need to get a letter from Invitation from agency in Uzbekistan.

Plan about 3 weeks to get the visa unless you want to pay extra to speed up processing.

1) Contact travel agency in Uzbekistan, think you can google for travel agencies in Uzbekistan that are willing to help you with a letter of invitation without needing to take their tour. You must of course pay a fee for the letter. Alternatively, some hotels are also willing to help you with the letter if you have booked some nights with them. The letter will take anything from 4 days to 2 weeks to reach you as I think the agency will need to send your form to the Foreign Ministry. Note that the agency will ask you for

--your personal informaton
--digital scan of your passport
--scan of a letter from your company confirming that you are employed

2) Once the letter of invitation is received, bring the invitation letter, passport and application form to the uzbekistan embassy

3) Get a slip etc for the amount to be deposited or transfer to the embassy account. We also do a cash deposit via HSBC as the Uzbekistan embassy also use HSBC account in Singapore.

4) Collect the visa in about 2 working days.
