  "account": "The Indian Embassy in Tashkent has announced that Indian citizens with valid multiple-entry visas from select countries, such as the United States, United Kingdom, and Schengen Member States, can now travel to Uzbekistan visa-free for up to 30 days. These travelers must also have a confirmed return or onward flight ticket to their home country or a third nation. Indian passport holders without valid visas from these partner nations must obtain an appropriate visa following Uzbekistan's visa guidelines. This relaxation in visa rules aims to bolster people-to-people contacts, tourism, and business exchanges between the two nations. Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev highlighted the growing ties between India and Uzbekistan, citing increased bilateral trade, joint ventures, and weekly direct flights. The 30-day visa-free regime is expected to further enhance travel and interaction between the two countries.",
