How to Get a Tajikistan Visa for UK Passport Holders

If you are a British citizen and looking to head to Tajikistan, you will need to obtain a visa from the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). The FCO offers two types of visas: a Visitor visa and a Visa on Arrival. The main difference between the two is that a visitor visa allows you to stay in Tajikistan for 30 days, while a visa on arrival is valid for up to 90 days. This article will explain everything you need to know about how to get a Tajikistan visa for UK passport holders.

How to Get a Tajikistan Visa for UK Passport Holders

If you are a UK passport holder and want to visit or reside in Tajikistan, you have a few options. The first is to apply for a visa at a British Embassy or Consulate. The second is to apply for a visa from the country of your residence. If you are a UK national living in the UK, you can apply for a visa from the UK Embassy or Consulate closest to you. The third option is to apply for a visa from a UK border point (e.g. Birmingham, Edinburgh, or Gatwick).

Apply Online

The fastest, easiest, and most secure way to apply for a visa is online. The Tajikistan visa application can be submitted online at the British Embassy or Consulate website of your choice. You will need to select which type of visa you are applying for, provide some personal details, and pay the fee. The visa application can be completed in less than one minute, and the application fee is £65 for a single entry tourist visa or £140 for a multiple entry business visas.

Check if you need a Temporary Residency Permit (TRP)

If you are the primary applicant on your UK passport, you do not need a TRP. If you are a spouse, child, or parent on a UK passport with a specified relationship, you do not need a TRP either. If you are a UK national living in the UK that is not mentioned above, you need a TRP. A TRP is not required if you are a British citizen or a national of countries with a Bilateral Investment Treaty with the UK. These countries include Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Republic of Montenegro, Serbian Diaspora, Turkey, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. In the case of a TRP, the visa application will have an additional section where you have to answer “TRP check yes/no specifically”. If the answer is “yes”, you will have to pay the TRP fee of £160.

Check if You Can Get a 90-Day Visa-On-Arrival (VOA)

If you are a citizen of an LSE (Less than severely Excluded) country or have a TRP, you can check if you can get a VOA. A VOA is a single-entry visa that allows you to stay in Tajikistan for 90 days. If you are visiting the country for tourism or for less than 90 days, you can get a multiple-entry VOA. The visa is valid for one entry, and you will have to leave the country and get a new visa before entering again. If you are a student, you can get a VOA valid for six months. The VOA is only valid for entry through the Russian immigration post at Dushanbe Airport.

Conclusion

The best way to get a visa is to apply online through the FCO website. If you cannot apply online, you can also apply at a UK Embassy or Consulate. If you are a UK national living in the UK that does not apply for a visa at a British Embassy or Consulate, you can apply for a visa from a UK Border Post. The Border Post option is only available for certain UK passport holders. So when are you going?
