Do Hong Kong passport holders need a visa to visit TJ?

Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport holders need a visa for Tajikistan, but can use the official online eVisa instead of visiting an embassy. The standard tourist eVisa is single-entry, costs USD 30, is valid for 90 days from issue, and permits a stay of up to 60 days. A Hong Kong SAR (HKSAR) ordinary passport does NOT enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to Tajikistan. Tajikistan is not on the HK Immigration Department's visa-free list for ordinary passports, so a visa is required before travel. The practical and recommended route is the official electronic visa (eVisa) operated by Tajikistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs at evisa.tj. HKSAR passport holders are eligible to apply online. The standard tourist eVisa is single-entry, carries a government fee of USD 30, is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, and allows a stay of up to 60 days within that validity window. Processing is usually a few business days, but the system advises applying at least about 2 weeks before travel. Travelers intending to visit the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) and the Pamir Highway must add the GBAO permit option during the eVisa application for an extra fee (about USD 20). The eVisa is the only practical channel for most short tourist visits; conventional consular visas also exist but are slower. Passport must be valid for the duration of stay (recommend at least 6 months validity). This is an eVisa requirement, not visa-free or visa-on-arrival.
