India to Tajikistan visa requirements

Q: How much does the Tajikistan e-visa cost for Indians?

USD 30 for single entry and USD 50 for multiple entry. An optional GBAO permit for the Pamir region adds about USD 20.

Q: How long does the e-visa take to process?

Typically 1 to 5 business days. Apply at least a week before your trip to allow for any delays.

Q: How long can I stay in Tajikistan on the e-visa?

The e-visa is valid for 90 days from issue and allows a stay of up to 60 days (some single-entry tourist e-visas are capped at 45 days, depending on the option chosen).

Q: Do I need a GBAO permit?

Only if you plan to visit the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (Pamir Highway, Wakhan Valley, etc.). You can request it within the same e-visa application for an extra fee.

Q: Where is the official e-visa website?

The official portal is evisa.tj, run by Tajikistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Avoid third-party agents that charge markups.

Indian passport holders need a visa for Tajikistan and can get it online via the official e-visa portal (evisa.tj). There is no visa-free entry or visa-on-arrival for Indian citizens. As of 2026, ordinary Indian passport holders cannot enter Tajikistan visa-free or with a visa on arrival. India is on Tajikistan's e-visa eligibility list, so the standard route for a short tourist visit is the electronic visa applied for online at the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal (evisa.tj) before travel. A single-entry e-visa costs USD 30 and a multiple-entry e-visa USD 50. The e-visa is valid for 90 days from issue and permits a maximum stay of up to 60 days within that window (some single-entry tourist e-visas are issued with a 45-day stay cap, depending on the option selected). Processing usually takes about 1 to 5 business days. Travelers heading to the Pamir / Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) must add a GBAO permit (about USD 20), which can be requested in the same application. A passport valid at least 6 months beyond entry is required.
