In recent years, trade and economic relations between Uzbekistan and the United Arab Emirates have intensified. More and more tourists go on vacation to this country, which prompted the leadership of Uzbekistan to introduce a visa-free regime in relations with the UAE in 2019, but no reciprocal steps have yet been taken.

This rule applies to almost all CIS countries, including citizens of Armenia, Georgia, Tajikistan, Belarus, Azerbaijan.
