Okay, so I needed to get a visa for Tajikistan, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a wild ride, but I figured it out and wanted to share my experience.
Started Searching Around
First things first, I started searching around about how to get this visa. Turns out, they have this eVisa thing, which sounds super convenient, right? You can do it all online. So, I thought, “Great, this should be easy.”
Found the Application Form
I found the online application and started filling it out. It asked for all the usual stuff – name, passport details, travel dates, you know the drill. I filled everything in, double-checked, and triple-checked because you don’t want to mess up your visa application.

Gathered My Documents
Then came the documents. I needed a scan of my passport’s biodata page. Which was easy enough to get. I made sure the scan was clear and all the information was visible. I also needed an invitation letter from a Tajik company which I don’t have, so I had to skip that part.
Submitted and Waited
With everything filled out and all my documents uploaded, I hit that submit button. Then came the waiting game. They said it takes about 5 working days to process, so I tried to be patient. Every day, I’d check my email like a hawk, hoping to see that confirmation.
Got the Confirmation
Finally, after a few days, that glorious email arrived! My eVisa was approved! I gotta say, the feeling was such a relief. I downloaded the eVisa, printed out a copy, and made sure to save it on my phone too. You can never be too prepared, right?
Checked the Costs
Now, about the cost. The fees start at around $31 for a single-entry visa, but they can go up to $51 for multiple entries. I opted for the single-entry since that’s all I needed for this trip.
Compared Options
I also looked into the Visa on Arrival (VOA) option, which seemed interesting. Apparently, citizens from 71 countries can get their visa once they arrive in Tajikistan. But since I could do it online, I figured the eVisa was the way to go. It just seemed more straightforward to get it sorted before I even left home.
Summing Up
So, all in all, getting the Tajikistan eVisa was quite the process, but totally doable. Here’s a quick recap:
- Found the online application.
- Filled out the form with all my details.
- Gathered and uploaded my passport scan and invitation letter (if you have one).
- Submitted the application and waited.
- Received the eVisa confirmation via email.
- Paid the fee (around $31 to $51 depending on the type of visa).
If you’re planning to visit Tajikistan, definitely check if you need a visa and consider the eVisa option. It’s a bit of work upfront, but it saves you the hassle of dealing with it at the airport. Safe travels, everyone!
