Vietnam to Tajikistan visa requirements

A Vietnamese ordinary passport holder needs a visa for Tajikistan. The simplest option is the official online e-visa (evisa.tj): single-entry costs USD 30, allows a stay of up to 60 days, and is valid for 90 days from issue. Visa-on-arrival at Dushanbe airport is also available but is more expensive and less reliable, so the e-visa is recommended. Tajikistan is not visa-free for Vietnamese ordinary passport holders (the only exemption is a separate 14-day visa-free provision for travelers aged over 55). For a standard short tourist visit, Vietnam is on the list of nationalities eligible for Tajikistan's electronic visa, which is the recommended and most convenient route. Apply on the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal at evisa.tj. The single-entry tourist e-visa costs USD 30 (multiple-entry USD 50), is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, and permits a stay of up to 60 days. Processing is typically a few business days (officially up to several days; allow at least one to two weeks before travel). Travelers wishing to visit the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO, including the Pamir Highway) must add the GBAO permit during the e-visa application for an extra USD 20. A passport valid for at least six months with a blank page is required. Visa-on-arrival at Dushanbe International Airport (around USD 50, up to 45 days) is also technically available to Vietnamese nationals, but obtaining the e-visa in advance avoids airport queues, payment-method issues, and the risk of being denied boarding by an airline. Sources are consistent on the e-visa eligibility and the USD 30 single-entry fee; figures should be reconfirmed on the official portal at the time of application.
