The nearest Uzbek missions to Asmara are in Tel Aviv, Israel (1,908 km from Asmara), Sharjah city, the United Arab Emirates (2,030 km) and Tehran, Iran (2,594 km). Uzbekistan sets which of its missions takes applications from Eritrea; the mission or the official visa portal confirms it before an appointment is booked.
