Tadzjikistan: wat je moet weten voor vertrek

Het belangrijkste

  • A separate permit is needed for Gorno-Badakhshan; issuance can stop at short notice.
  • Drones require permission from the National Security Committee.
  • Carry cash outside Dushanbe; rural ATMs are scarce.

Inreis en visa

Visa exemptions and permitted stays depend on nationality. Tajik MFA lists visa-free entry for Russia, 30 days for US, UAE and Uzbek citizens, and 90 days for Ukraine. Others should confirm the current exemption or obtain the appropriate visa through the MFA. FCDO and MFA guidance differ on some exemptions; no unverified UK or EU-wide rule is asserted.
