Required documents

5 items

Identity

  • Online e-Visa application

    Required

    Apply at evisa.tj, the only government-run portal (the site warns that other sites charging a service fee for Tajikistan e-Visas aren't endorsed by the government). You must be outside Tajikistan when you apply. A tourist e-Visa allows a stay of up to 60 days, to be used within a 90-day window starting from the entry date you specify, if you need to enter earlier than the date on an already-issued e-Visa, you must submit a new application rather than adjust the existing one. Add a GBAO permit (extra fee) if your trip includes the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (the Pamir Highway).

    A photo meeting standard passport-style specifications, uploaded with your application.

Financial

  • Consular fee, paid online in USD

    Required

    About $50 for the e-Visa alone, or about $70 including a GBAO permit. You don't need a USD account, payment converts automatically from your card's local currency. The fee is non-refundable if the application is denied.

  • If you're a child applying for a standard Tajik visa at the consulate in Dubai: no fingerprints needed

    The Consulate General of Tajikistan in Dubai says standard (sticker) visa applicants are fingerprinted and photographed at their appointment, but that diplomats and children do not need fingerprints. The page doesn't say up to what age someone counts as a child. It is dated January 2022 and other Tajik embassies and consulates may differ, so confirm with the one handling your application.

Why applications on this route get refused

  • Application details don't match your travel document

    The portal states that information provided is checked at the border, and that once approved, nothing on the e-Visa can be changed, if it doesn't exactly match your travel document, the e-Visa is invalid and you'll be refused entry, with no refund.

    How to avoid it: Double-check every field against your actual passport before submitting, since corrections aren't possible after approval.

  • Passport not valid for long enough

    Tajikistan requires at least 6 months' passport validity from your intended entry date.

    How to avoid it: Renew your passport before applying if it has less than 6 months left.

  • Application denied after payment

    The consular fee is charged for consideration of the application, not for a guaranteed outcome, the portal is explicit that a denied application isn't refunded.

    How to avoid it: Make sure your details and documents are accurate and complete before paying.
