Kyrgyzstan Establishes Visa-Free Travel with Seychelles and Togo

Kyrgyzstan has recently ratified agreements that will facilitate visa-free travel for its citizens to Seychelles and Togo. This decision was made by the Jogorku Kenesh, Kyrgyzstan's parliament, which passed the bills in three readings on October 15, 2026.

Details of the Agreements

Under the agreement with Seychelles, citizens of both nations can visit each other without a visa for stays of up to 30 days. However, the total duration of stays within a calendar year must not exceed 90 days.

The agreement with Togo allows for visa exemptions for holders of diplomatic and service passports from Kyrgyzstan and Togo. These passport holders can stay in each other's countries for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

Impact on Travelers

These new agreements are expected to simplify travel for citizens of Kyrgyzstan, Seychelles, and Togo, promoting tourism and enhancing diplomatic relations. Travelers should ensure they have the necessary documentation, such as valid passports, before planning their trips.

Future Developments

In addition to the visa agreements, the Kyrgyz parliament also discussed a bill to ratify a separate agreement with Togo aimed at promoting and protecting investments, which may further strengthen economic ties between the two countries.

Overall, these developments mark a significant step towards increased international cooperation and ease of travel for Kyrgyz citizens and their counterparts in Seychelles and Togo.
