Official Recommendations
In France, both for individuals and professionals, the "travel advice" from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding precautions for each country has legal standing. A similar online travel advice system exists in several countries:
Health
No vaccinations are mandatory to enter the country, though it is still advisable to be up to date with your "basic vaccinations."
Diseases
Hygiene
Local Healthcare Facilities
Safety
Crime and Delinquency
Crime is low in Uzbekistan, including in cities. However, this does not mean you should let your guard down.
Scams and "Tourist" Harassment
Socio-Political Risks and Terrorism
Due to recurring tensions and instability in the region, the terrorist threat cannot be ruled out in the country, though it should be kept in perspective. In fact, it is mainly near the eastern borders—with Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan (presence of landmines), and especially Afghanistan (incidents and tensions)—that vigilance and up-to-date information on the current situation are necessary. This is also why the Surxondaryo region, close to the Afghan border, requires special authorization for foreigners.
Climate, Nature, and Animals
Foreign Consulates in the Country
If you encounter problems while traveling abroad, your country’s consular services can assist you. It’s also worth noting that if you are an EU citizen and your country is not represented, you can contact any other EU member state’s representation.
