    Kyrgyzstan Visa Policy

    The visa policy of Kyrgyzstan mandates visitors to obtain a visa before they can enter the country unless they are from visa-exempt countries or eligible for a visa on arrival at the airport. The government initially flirted with the idea of abolishing the visa-free regime for foreign nationals, but it was retained after deliberations. Today, Kyrgyzstan offers visa exemptions to nationals from 69 different countries. Nationals from these countries who hold valid passports can enter and stay for a number one of days, depending on their nationality.

    Electronic e Visa

    Still, in the Kyrgyzstan visa policy, the authorities introduced their electronic visa program in 2017 for short-term visitors from all countries and territories who may apply for tourist, business, or group tourist visas that last for 30 or 90 days. The conditions to get this e visa is that you must arrive through Manas or Osh international airports or through the land crossing with China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, or Uzbekistan.

    The application process is done online rather than applying to an embassy or consulate, and it takes only a few days to receive the e-visa. More than 120 countries are on the e-visa list, including countries on the visa-on-arrival list.

    Key Travel Information

    Before you apply for any of the above e-visas, here is some vital information to take note of.

    Where To Apply: Unless you are from a country on the Visa on arrival list, you should only apply for the e-visa outside Kyrgyzstan. Interested visitors must have applied for the Visa and received it before boarding a flight to Kyrgyzstan.

    Passport: The Passport you use must be valid throughout your stay in the country. If yours will expire during your time in Kyrgyzstan, endeavor to apply for a new passport and then use it to apply for the e-visa. Also, note that the same Passport you used for the e-visa should be the same one you traveled to Kyrgyzstan with. Should you travel with a different passport, you will be denied entry because the e-visa you get is linked to the Passport used.

    Do Not Work: To avoid issues with the authorities, do not engage in any economic activity that will earn you a wage during your time in Kyrgyzstan. The e-visa is designed for leisure and noncommercial business trips; working and getting paid with this e-visa is not allowed. If you must work, you should get a work visa instead.

    Leave Before Your Visa Expires: It will be in your interest to leave the country before or on the day your Visa expires. To be on the safe side, mark the day your Visa will expire on your calendar and plan your trip to fit into the days given so you can round up your assignment and activities on time. Visitors who stay in Kyrgyzstan on an expired visa will be sanctioned by the government.

    Obey The Laws: As a guest in the country, always obey the law and regulations throughout your stay. The immigration officers will ask questions about your trip at the port of entry, and you should provide them with honest answers and present them with your Passport and other necessary documents. Bear in mind that Kyrgyzstan immigration is backed by law to prevent visitors from entering Kyrgyzstan even if they have valid visas but can prove beyond reasonable doubt why they are in the country.
