1. Embassy Tashkent warmly welcomes and grants country
clearance to House Committee on Foreign Affairs Staff Members
Manpreet Singh Anand, Melissa Adamson, Gene Gurevich and
Amanda Sloat for the proposed visit to Tashkent August 22.
Post will meet Staffdel at the airport and provide
transportation to and from the Embassy for a briefing with
the Charge d'Affaires and other relevant Embassy officials.
The control officer for your visit will be Political Officer
Richard Fitzmaurice, office telephone number (998 71)
120-5450, cellular telephone (998 90) 370-0427, email
address: FitzmauriceRG@state.gov.
2. Visa: All visitors to Uzbekistan regardless of length of
stay and purpose of visit must obtain an Uzbek visa.
Travelers are strongly advised to apply for Uzbek visas at
least one month prior to their expected travel. Travelers
should check the details of their visa validity dates and
number of entries issued. Travelers not holding diplomatic
passports must complete two currency forms prior to entering
Tashkent customs control. The second form must be kept in
their possession until departure from Uzbekistan.
4. Climate/dress: During the summer period the weather
conditions in Uzbekistan are hot and dry. Temperatures
typically range between 90 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tashkent is a cosmopolitan city where most modern dress is
accepted. However, dress in places like markets, the old
part of Tashkent, and outside of Tashkent is more
conservative. Standard business dress is the attire during
working hours.
5. Medical Assistance: The post has a small Health Unit
with a Foreign Service Health Practitioner. Stocks of
medication are not extensive; therefore, travelers should
carry any non-prescription and prescription medicines for
which they anticipate a need. For medical emergencies,
visitors are sometimes referred to the Tashkent International
Medical Clinic (TIMC) for assistance. The address is 38
Sarikulskaya Street, tel.: (998 71) 191-0142, 191-0726, and
fax: 191-2246. Transactions at that facility are in dollars
and must be paid at the time of the visit. TIMC is unable to
bill your insurance company. If you have a medical
condition(s) that require frequent follow-up or may
necessitate emergency care, be aware that medical facilities
are very limited and contact post prior to finalizing your
travel.
