Tajikistan visas
Whether you need a visa for Tajikistan depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip: many travellers can apply through the government's electronic visa portal, nationals of most CIS countries enter visa-free, and longer stays for work, study or residence follow separate permit routes. Visa policy and consular matters are handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Tajikistan, with e-visas issued through its official portal at evisa.tj. Always confirm the current rules for your passport and purpose on the official sources before you travel or apply.
