Is it safe to travel to Uzbekistan?

Very little is on record here. Over the last 12 months we logged two events: one flood and one travel advisory notice. The country sits at the lowest level of our 0-to-4 scale and nothing is live right now. Flooding is the only hazard here that follows a season. The two records fall in March and April, all hazards combined, but two events across a year is not a pattern, so read that as thin data rather than a calendar. Recorded homicide runs at 1.4 per 100,000 people, against a world median of 2.1; that figure covers homicide only and says nothing about theft or scams. No state we track currently advises against travel.

What it changes for a nomad

Weeks here look ordinary. No month stands out for arriving, and the one seasonal thing to plan around is flooding, which can cut a road outside the cities and hold you up for a day or two. Keep slack in your travel days rather than in the whole trip. Thin records also mean thin warning: with two events on file for the year, our sensors will not be the first to tell you something is off, so a local news source and your host matter more than usual. A travel advisory notice did appear in the window even though none is in force now, so check your own foreign ministry before booking a long stay, and again before you extend it.

  1. August 21, 2026

    Over the last 12 months Uzbekistan recorded just one event, a flood. Little hazard data exists for the country. The homicide rate is 1.4 per 100k, below the world median of 2.1 per 100k. No official travel advisories are in place. The country sits outside armed conflict zones.

To watch as a rule

  • Flooding, the only hazard with a season here; it mostly shows up as closed roads outside the cities.
  • Official travel advice: one notice was recorded over the last 12 months, none is in force now.
  • Very few records overall, so quiet data is not a guarantee; keep one local source running.

Good reflexes

  • Read your foreign ministry page before booking a long stay, and again before extending it.
  • Ask locally whether the road is passable before a spring trip out of the city.
  • Leave a spare day around intercity travel in spring rather than a tight connection.
  • Follow one local news source in your city instead of relying on alerts alone.
  • Keep an offline map and your address written in the local script on your phone.
