Discover visa requirements for your trip
British citizens need a visa for Tajikistan, but can obtain it easily as an e-Visa applied for online before departure.
A British national travelling to Tajikistan — to Dushanbe, the Pamir mountains or the Fann valley — needs a visa. Tajikistan offers an e-Visa system that lets you apply online from the United Kingdom, with a passport valid for at least 6 months. Depending on the region visited (notably Gorno-Badakhshan / GBAO), an additional permit may be required on top of the visa.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. British travellers must obtain a visa to enter Tajikistan. The recommended route is the e-Visa, requested online on the official portal before the trip. The passport must remain valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry.
How and where to apply
The e-Visa application is completed entirely online on the official portal (evisa.tj): form, upload of the photo and passport page, then payment by card. If your itinerary includes the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO), tick the GBAO permit option during the application. You receive the e-Visa by email to print.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least 6 months, a digital ID photo, an accommodation address and a return ticket. The listed fee is around USD 20 for the e-Visa; any GBAO supplement is added on top. Confirm the current amount and options on the official portal at the time of your application.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not guaranteed: file the application several working days before departure. Check the validity dates and the authorised entry period carefully. Carry a printed copy of the e-Visa and, if applicable, the GBAO permit, as connectivity can be poor in mountain areas.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes: forgetting the GBAO permit when planning to go to the Pamirs, entering an incorrect passport number, an insufficiently valid passport, and using a site imitating the official portal. Use only evisa.tj and check every field before paying.
