किर्गिज़स्तान: यात्रा से पहले क्या जानें
सबसे ज़रूरी
- Since January 2026 most Western visitors (US, UK, EU) may stay visa-free only 30 days in each 60-day period (previously 60 days).
- Staying longer than 30 days? Register online with the State Registration Service within 5 days of entry, or leave before day 30.
- Russian Mir cards don't work in Kyrgyzstan (since April 2024); bring USD/EUR/RUB cash or a non-Russian card.
- Some common Western over-the-counter medicines can cause problems at customs — carry prescriptions and declare medicines.
