While every effort has been made to present an accurate list of bank holidays,
legal holidays and public holidays for Uzbekistan, we cannot accept any responsibility for any error
or omission in the data presented above. Some of the bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays
for Uzbekistan are based on calendars whose determination is inherently approximate, as described in the
footnotes below, which we strongly urge you to read. In addition, in many parts of the world, holidays
are subject to arbitrary, last minute, changes by the local authorities and you are therefore advised
to verify the above dates with the embassy or consulate of Uzbekistan, before planning any trip to Uzbekistan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Footnotes
* Any entry in the Observance column indicates that, in Uzbekistan, the holiday may be regional
or non-official or limited to certain religious and/or linguistic groups, or begin at a time other than
midnight.
** Bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays based on certain religious calendars are
subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities,
or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another
holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious
(bad luck), To find out more about these uncertainties, see the specific footnote, if any, for each holiday.
(2) Muslim bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays for Uzbekistan were evaluated using
the Umm al-Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia which is used in Saudi Arabia and in most of the Persian Gulf
States. Holidays may occur a day later in countries outside the Gulf region. For more details on Muslim
holidays, click here.
(6) The calculation of solar bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays for Uzbekistan are
based on the geographical location of Tashkent (Latitude 41,3ฐN, Longitude 69,2ฐE, GMT+6,0 hours, no Summer
Time rules). Note that many countries in South-East Asia are progressively changing the recurrence rule of
some of their lunar/solar holidays to rules based on fixed dates of the Western (Gregorian) calendar.
Therefore, while the dates predicted above for 2005 and beyond are currently technically correct, the
rules of these holidays may change in the next few years. For more details on lunar and solar holidays,
(e) Bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays that occur on a Saturday may, in Uzbekistan,
be observed on the previous Friday or the following Monday. The fact that the date displayed above is
a Saturday means, either that there is no reliable official rule concerning holidays that occur on
a Saturday, or that the rule is that these holidays do not move. In either case, individuals and/or
businesses may decide to take the Friday or Monday off regardless of the official national policy.
(f) Bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays that occur on a Sunday may, in Uzbekistan,
be observed on the following Monday. The fact that the date displayed above is a Sunday means, either
that there is no reliable official rule concerning holidays that occur on a Sunday, or that the rule is
that these holidays do not move. In either case, individuals and/or businesses may decide to take the
Monday off regardless of the official national policy.
(h) Muslim holidays that occur on a Friday may, in Uzbekistan, be observed on the following
Saturday, either officially, or by some individuals and/or businesses independently of any official
national policy regarding bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays.
