Tourist vs Business Tajikistan e-Visa: Which Type Do You Need?

Choosing the right category keeps your Tajikistan entry simple. Most holidaymakers need a tourist e-Visa; short meetings use a business e-Visa. Stay, validity and published consular fees are the same for both.

Tourist e-Visa

Built for holidays, family visits and sightseeing. Stay up to 60 days. The visa is valid for 90 days. Choose single entry (published fee USD 30) or multiple entry (USD 50). The tourist e-Visa cannot be extended past 60 days.

Business e-Visa

Intended for meetings, conferences, negotiations and other short commercial visits — not a work permit. Stay, validity and fees match the tourist e-Visa. Extra proof of the trip, such as an invitation, may be requested.

When to use a Tajik mission instead

Work, study, residence, or a stay longer than 60 days need a visa from a Tajik mission. This website does not offer a separate transit e-Visa. If you stay inside the international transit area you do not need an e-Visa; leaving that area is an entry.
