Why applications on this route get refused

  • Verification email not actioned in time

    The verification email sent after the first step of the application is only valid for 72 hours, after that, the application is cancelled and you must start a new one.

    How to avoid it: Check your inbox (and spam folder) promptly after submitting the first step, and complete verification within 72 hours.

  • Application details don't match your passport

    The portal states you're responsible for any mistakes in your application, if your e-visa doesn't match your travel document, it's considered invalid, and there's no refund.

    How to avoid it: Double-check every field against your actual passport before paying, since you can't edit the application after payment.

  • Passport doesn't meet the validity or condition requirements

    Kyrgyzstan requires at least 6 months' validity beyond the visa period, 2 blank pages, and no damage or unofficial markings.

    How to avoid it: Check all three conditions, not just the expiry date, before applying.
