Tajikistan Visa
In 2003, Tajikistan introduced
simplified procedures for visa support for citizens of the EU, USA
and Japan, for tourist visas of up to one month. A visa support
letter is still required, but it can be obtained more quickly than
before.
Restricted areas
Note that some parts of Tajikistan are restricted and you will need
extra permits (in addition to your visa) to travel there. If your
itinerary takes you to Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO),
you will need to get a GBAO Permit in addition to your visa.
Permission to visit Lake Sarez is given by the Ministry of Emergency
Situations. However, in 2003 they introduced a policy not to issue
permission to visit Sarez to tourists, only to scientists.
Some other areas require special permission to visit, e.g. Nurek
Hydroelectric Power Station or Lake Zorkul. If you plan to visit any
restricted areas you should mention this when applying for visa
support. It may be possible to obtain permission after arrival in
Tajikistan but this can take days or weeks.
Visitors to Tajikistan must
obtain a letter of invitation before they will be issued with a
visa. The invitation letter can be issued by any organisation
registered in Tajikistan, but it must be endorsed by the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs in Dushanbe. The invitation letter should specify
the following information:
Name, nationality and passport no. of all the invited parties.
Arrival and departure dates. You do not have to travel on the exact
dates specified, but your visa will not be valid outside of those
dates. You may not arrive before, or stay beyond, the dates given in
the letter of invitation.
Name of the inviting organisation
If you are travelling to Tajikistan for the purpose of tourism, you
can apply for your letter of invitation online. Travel Tajikistan
can provide you with a single-entry tourist visa, valid for up to
one month. (Longer stays may be possible, contact us for details).
