To simplify the Tajikistan visas legalization and issue procedure for nationals of a number of foreign countries, the Regulation of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan "About Measures of the Simplified Procedure for Legalization and Issue of the Tajikistan Visas to Nationals of a Number of Foreign Countries" was entered into force from April 2006. In accordance with the above document, nationals of 67 states may get the visas directly upon arrival in the Tajikistan airports or in the diplomatic representative offices within three (3) working days. This list includes Norway, USA, Japan, South Korea, China, Israel, Iran, Turkey, Switzerland, number of countries of the East Europe and the Middle East and also all the European Union. Foreign nationals can get entrance visas directly in the consular bureau of the Consular Management of the Tajikistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is located in the Dushanbe airport. For this purpose the receiving party should submit the letter of invitation to the bureau in advance.

Visas are issued just upon arrival at the international airports of the Republic. Visa issue period is reduced considerably in the Tajikistan consular representative offices abroad - from one and half month to three days.

Remember, that the Russian Federation nationals need no any visa for entrance into the Republic of Tajikistan. All documents necessary for crossing the border are registered in the airport or at the border check-point.
