Germany visa for Uzbek citizens

Germany’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities; the official site for it is videx.diplo.de. Processing time, as Germany states it: Usually 15 days after the mission receives the file, up to 45 days in individual cases; any waiting time for an appointment comes on top. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Germany has 1 mission in Uzbekistan, with its embassy in Tashkent.

In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Uzbekistan (Tashkent) received 18,361 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 14,028. 21.3% of applications were refused. In 2024 the rate was much the same, 20.0%. Applications fell by 5% compared with 2024 (19,329).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 16.3% of the applications lodged in Uzbekistan that year, from 4.9% at the consulates of Italy to 32.5% at those of Poland. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%. Germany was the most applied-for Schengen state in Uzbekistan.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Uzbekistan, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

Before travelling from Uzbekistan to Germany, it helps to know the official travel advice: the US State Department rates Germany at Level 2, exercise increased caution (updated 12 May 2025) and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Germany (updated 11 August 2026). Each ministry writes for its own citizens.
