FAQ
Who needs OVIR (Ministry of Internal Affairs) registration?
Foreign nationals (including Russian citizens) who stay in Tajikistan for more than 10 working days are required to register with the Passport Registration Service (OVIR) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Important: If you are staying at a hotel, the hotel administration usually completes the registration for you automatically. If you are staying in a guesthouse, hostel, or private accommodation, make sure to confirm whether they provide this service. Failure to register may result in a substantial fine (approximately USD 400) when leaving Tajikistan.
