Tajikistan e-visa cost

The fee to apply for a Tajik e-visa is USD 50. If you’re also applying for a GBAO permit — which permits entry into and travel within the autonomous region of Gorno-Badakhshan — the fee is USD 70.

Tajikistan e-visa validity

The Tajikistan eVisa permits a maximum stay of 60 days within the country and is issued as a single-entry visa, valid for 90 days from the date of issuance.

Tajik e-Visas, like the tourist visa in general, currently cannot be extended. You must exit the country and apply for another visa to “extend” your visa.
