Electronic visa (e-Visa) and visa on arrival at Dushanbe airport
Tajikistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issues electronic visas through evisa.tj. You apply and pay online, and the visa is emailed to you to print. It is valid for 90 days and allows a stay of up to 60 days; it cannot be extended. An optional permit to enter the Gorno-Badakhshan (GBAO / Pamir) border region is added on the e-visa form. Citizens of about 140 countries can instead get a visa on arrival at the Consular Bureau of Dushanbe International Airport.
