Tajikistan Visa
I’m simply going to put in some links here to the pages that provide useful visa information.
The requirements and rules for obtaining a Tajik visa can seem to change every 5 minutes and there can be a lot of paperwork. Because it changes frequently, can be a demanding process and it is likely to go out of date quickly I’d prefer not to be responsible for providing out of date info.
If you wish to sort out your own visa – rather than pay a premium to go through an agency, then cross reference these websites – hopefully one of them at least will be up to date:
A major point to remember if you are planning to visit the GBAO is to apply for the GBAO Permit at the same time as your Visa. The GBAO is a large rectangular stamp that will take up another passport page.
There is recent news that Tajik visas can now be obtained at Dushanbe airport on incoming flights for EU citizens – this would be excellent news but definitely double check this with a local embassy.
Pamirs website – Visa advice
Wiki Travel Guide – well worth a look for practical and advice and usually up to date.
Great Game – Visa advice Likely to be out of date.
Letters of Invitation
If the Visa requirement involves an LOI then check out these links:
Stantours – This agency probably gets the best reviews from travelers for Central Asia for efficiency.
Great Game LOI – website is still running but potentially not operating anymore in Taj.
Tajikistan Visa Company – Tajikistan LOI (12Euros)
Somon Travel (London based agency)
Hamsafar Travel, based in Dushanbe
Tajikintourservice, based in Dushanbe
If you are interested in volunteering for an NGO it would be worth asking them to see if they can issue you with an LOI.
