Egypt to Tajikistan visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders need an e-visa for Tajikistan. Apply online before travel at the official portal evisa.tj; a single-entry tourist e-visa costs USD 30 and permits a stay of up to 60 days within a 90-day period. Egypt is on Tajikistan's e-visa eligible list (over 120 countries), so Egyptian citizens cannot enter visa-free but can obtain an electronic visa entirely online without visiting an embassy. The tourist e-visa is single entry, costs USD 30, and allows a stay of up to 60 days that must be completed within a 90-day window starting from the chosen entry date. Applications are submitted at the official Government portal evisa.tj, and the visa is normally issued by email within 2-5 business days. The e-visa is accepted at international airports (Dushanbe, Khujand) and at land border crossings. Travelers heading to the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) — including the Pamir Highway — must add a GBAO permit (about USD 20) during the same application. Passports must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry. Tajikistan is NOT in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. A visa-on-arrival channel exists at Dushanbe/Khujand airports for nationals of countries with no Tajik embassy, but the e-visa is the standard, reliable route for Egyptians and should be obtained before departure to avoid airline boarding issues.
