All About Kyrgyzstan Visas

Kyrgyzstan welcomes tourists from more than 50 countries to apply online for an Electronic Visa (eVisa), a convenient system that eliminates the need to travel to an embassy. Chinese and Indian citizens, for example, are eligible to apply for an eVisa.

This nation, also known as the Kyrgyz Republic, invites a number of nationalities to enter visa-free. Among others, citizens of all European Union countries as well as the US, the UK, Australia and New Zealand may enter without a visa for up to 60 days.

For those who do need an authorisation, applying with Byevisa is the best choice. Applying online gives you the flexibility to apply anywhere you are in the world in just minutes, and we send your approved travel pass to your email in just 5 to 9 business days.

The Kyrgyzstan eVisa is valid for one Single Entry only. You are allowed to stay for up to 60 days with this authorisation.

You can enter this nation of natural and rugged beauty with an electronic travel document via specific border checkpoints which we mention below.

Kyrgyzstan’s government fee for an e-Visa is 51.50 USD. In addition, Byevisa charges a fee to process your paperwork, and our prices start at 35 USD.

Here at Byevisa we provide all the information you need to get started on your journey to Kyrgyzstan. Find out how to obtain your eVisa below, and click ‘Apply Now’ to get yours!

Kyrgyzstan Visa on Arrival Versus E-Visa

The difference between these 2 types of visas is that you apply for an eVisa before your trip by completing our online form, and then you receive your official travel document by email. Then, upon arrival in the country, all you need to do is show your e-Visa and passport to the border officials and you can go right through.

In contrast, a Visa on Arrival (VoA) is obtained when you arrive at the border checkpoint by filling out some forms by hand. Fortunately, Kyrgyzstan offers all visitors who need a visa the opportunity to apply in advance for an electronic authorisation. This process saves you time from waiting in queues at the airport or filling out complicated VoA forms at the border.

Kyrgyzstan Visa Requirements and Eligibility

This Central Asian nation has a very welcoming policy for tourists. To see if you’re eligible for this Electronic Visa, consult our handy checker tool here:

Alternatively, many nationalities are visa-exempt, as mentioned in the list below:

These nationalities are visa-exempt for an indefinite period of time:

  • Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Cuba, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, North Korea, Russia, Tajikistan, and Vietnam.

These nationalities can enter visa-free for 90 days:

  • Mongolia, Serbia and Ukraine.

Citizens from these countries can enter visa-free for up to 60 days:

  • European Union citizens (except Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania), Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Iceland, Japan, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Montenegro, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Qatar, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan, and Vatican City.

Finally, these nationalities are visa-exempt for 30 days:

  • Malaysia and Turkey.

To apply, you need a valid passport that expires no earlier than 6 months from the date your eVisa expires, and your passport should have 2 blank pages for the visa stamps you receive upon arrival.

According to the Kyrgyzstan immigration department, it’s recommendable to obtain your approved eVisa before booking your flight to make sure you’re legally able to enter the country.

Kyrgyzstan’s tourist visa is for a Single Entry, important to keep in mind if you plan to include other Silk Road countries in your itinerary before heading back to Kyrgyzstan. If you need to enter and exit more than once, you must apply for multiple authorisations.

All travellers in your group must obtain their own separate authorisations, even if they are infants and children included on your own passport.

If you hold an e-Visa, you must enter through one of the following border checkpoints:

  • Manas Airport
  • Osh Airport
  • Kazakhstan borders:
    • Ak-Jol Avtodorozhnyi
    • Ak-Tilek- avtodorozhnyi
    • Chaldybar- avtodorozhnyi
    • Chon-Kapka-avtodorozhnyi
  • Uzbekistan border:
    • Dostuk- avtodorozhnyi
  • Tajikistan borders:
    • Bor-Dobo- avtodorozhnyi
    • Kulundu- avtodorozhnyi
    • Kyzyl-Bel- avtodorozhnyi
  • China borders:
    • Irkeshtam- avtodorozhnyi
      Torugart-avtodorozhnyi.

One important thing to keep in mind is that when you arrive to Kyrgyzstan, you must register your accommodation address with the local police within 5 business days.

You need to get a yellow fever vaccination before your trip if you’re coming from a country with a risk of yellow fever. You can find more information about countries that require a vaccination on the website of the World Health Organisation.
