Recent visa updates
Latest notes for travelers applying for a Tajikistan e-Visa.
Apply from outside Tajikistan
An e-Visa can still be requested only while you are outside the country. The stay remains a short visit of up to 60 days, for tourism or business.
Passport validity
Your passport should remain valid for at least six months after the visa you request, and for at least six months from the date you intend to enter.
Gorno-Badakhshan permit
Travel to GBAO still needs a separate single-entry permit in addition to the e-Visa. Enter that region on the date shown on the permit.
Approved details stay fixed
Name, passport number, and dates cannot be changed after approval. A different entry date needs a new application.
One form for each traveler
Every traveler, including each child, needs a separate application. The passport used on the form is the passport you must carry to the border.
Photo and passport scan
Upload a recent colour portrait and a clear scan of the passport biodata page. The passport should also have at least two blank pages.
Fees shown before payment
Single entry is USD 30 and multiple entry is USD 50. A GBAO permit is USD 20 and is added only when the trip enters the Pamirs. Pay by Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
Allow about two weeks
Processing commonly takes about three business days after payment. Apply about two weeks before travel, because some files take longer.
Keep a copy with you
The approved e-Visa is emailed, and it can also be downloaded from the status page. Carry a copy on your phone or on paper with the same passport.
Leave before the stay ends
Depart before both the allowed stay and the visa expire. Overstaying can lead to a fine, deportation, or a ban on future travel to Tajikistan.
Entry during the visa dates
You may enter on any day inside the validity period. Entering earlier than the date printed on the visa needs a new application.
All border points
An approved e-Visa can be used at every border point, including Dushanbe and Khujand international airports. No e-Visa is required if you stay inside the international transit area.
Business visits only
A business e-Visa covers meetings and other short business travel. It does not by itself authorize employment in Tajikistan.
