How the 3 days are counted
- The 3 days start: At 00:01 on the day after you cross the border.
- Sundays and public holidays are not counted.
For example, if you arrive on a Friday and there is no public holiday, the days counted are Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, so you must be registered by the end of Tuesday.

In a hotel or hostel
The hotel or hostel normally registers you when you check in. Keep any registration slips or confirmations until you leave the country, in case you are asked for them.
In a private home or flat
If you stay with friends, family or in a private rental: Your host registers you through the e-mehmon.uz system, or you go to the local migration office.
Make sure this happens within the deadline. As the guest, you are the one who has to be registered.

If you don’t register
Not registering can lead to a fine. We could not confirm the current amount on an official page, so don’t risk it.
What we could not verify
- That hotels and hostels register their guests automatically and give a registration slip. Travellers widely report this, but we have not found it on an official page.
- The current fine for not registering.
