VPNs and other tools worth installing before you go, curated for travelers visiting Uzbekistan.
No general government or safety app is necessary for a short visit. Save authoritative web guidance, registration records and emergency contacts offline instead. The unified emergency number is 112. Police are 102, ambulance 103 and fire 101. The 24-hour Call Centre for Safe Tourism is 1173, with English, Uzbek and Russian operators. Save the accommodation, insurer, embassy or consulate and a trusted contact in the phone and on paper. Uzbekistan requires temporary registration. Hotels and registered accommodation normally complete it, while a private host must use the local authority or E-mehmon process. Current UK guidance says registration is required within three days and must be repeated after moving to another city for more than three days. Confirm the rule for the traveler's nationality and itinerary, ask the host for proof and preserve the full accommodation record until departure. Independent camping or camper travel has a more difficult self-registration process whose online tourist tax currently requires an Uzbek debit card, so solve it before setting out. Carry the passport because police can conduct identity checks. Back up the identity page, visa or entry authorization, customs declaration, prescriptions, insurance, tickets and registration records, but protect those copies. Check medicines before travel. Codeine and other products can create customs problems without the required prescription and declaration. Drones are largely prohibited without prior licensing and permission. Ask before photographing government, military, police, border, bridge, airport or other sensitive infrastructure. For an earthquake or serious incident, follow local authorities and contact the insurer promptly. An app page is not a substitute for current entry rules, official travel advice or emergency services.
