In reply to Yok.

Hi Yok,
I’m afraid that we don’t have any information on this. Everyone we know who has visited Tajikistan and the Pamir Mountains recently has only had a single entry visa. But, it’s worth checking with the closest Tajik consulate to see what’s possible. Good luck and enjoy your trip!

Hey Dan and Audrey:

Sawadii Kha. I love your blog na kha.

I note it has be a couple years since you are updating this post but wanting to reach out to ask whether you have any experience with double entry Tajik visa and double entry GBAO permit on arrival? Or maybe no someone who does.

Khop khun kha!

I’m just starting the visa & permit rally. Today I talked with 3 different people at the Tajik embassy in Moscow over the phone.

All of them had contradicting information about GBAO permit and one even got angry. He adamantly insisted that no permission is required for GBAO and he knows that because he is from GBAO himself. And all internet sources are just lies.

@Vladimir: If you can find the phone number, consider contacting the Tajik embassy in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan by phone or email (if that is even possible, I don’t know). Our experience there was pretty good and it was not very busy. The problem with speaking to someone in the Tajik embassy in Moscow is that it’s probably VERY busy, plus the ease of getting your visa will depend on the relationship between the embassy (Tajikistan) and in this case, Russia.

@Stephen: You are welcome. Getting your visas and Letters of Invitations and various registrations is all part of the journey in Central Asia. Good luck and have fun!

I’m gearing up for a second trip through Central Asia, and reading through these has me somehow excited about frustrated at the same time. Thanks for collecting all this info and putting it out there for others!
