According to the decree, from January 1, 2020, a visa-free regime was established for entry to Uzbekistan for a period of not more than 7 days in the prescribed manner through the country's international airports for citizens of the People’s Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China.
