Visa
There are two options for obtaining your visa - on arrival at Dushanbe airport, or at a Tajik Embassy. Tajik visas cannot be obtained at land borders, so if you are arriving overland you must obtain your visa in advance from an embassy.
Obtaining your visa at Dushanbe Airport
If you are flying to Tajikistan, you will probably find it most convenient to obtain your visa on arrival at Dushanbe airport.
When you arrive at the airport, go to the consular office before you clear passport control. You will need to present your passport, your letter of invitation, and the appropriate fee. It will help if you bring the exact change.
Obtaining your visa at the airport is quick and convenient. Depending on what flight you arrive on, you may have to queue to get your visa. Probably you will still clear passport control before your bags are ready for collection.
Obtaining your visa at a Tajik Embassy
If you are entering Tajikistan at a land border, you must obtain your visa in advance. There are three possible options:
1. Visit the Tajik embassy in your country or in a country near you and apply in person.
2. Apply to a Tajik embassy by post.
3. Wait until you are in Central Asia, and apply in the Tajik embassy in Tashkent, Bishkek or Almaty before you cross the border. Usually the embassies are willing to issue visas quite promptly, but you may want to contact them in advance of travel to check.
