Registration after arrival

30-day

Foreign citizens and stateless persons must register with the internal-affairs bodies within 10 working days of entering Tajikistan (with the foreign-affairs bodies, for diplomatic mission staff only), except citizens of countries exempt from registration for certain periods under agreements. Those who stay no more than 10 working days from entry and leave within that period need not register. Organisations and hosts that invited foreigners, and people in whose homes foreigners live, must register them within 10 working days of arrival, not counting weekends and public holidays. Foreigners holding an e-visa are exempt from registration with the internal-affairs bodies. The entry-rules page says citizens of 52 foreign states must register within 10 working days of entry and leave when their 30-day stay ends. The UK government says that if you enter without an e-visa and stay longer than 10 days, you must register with the Office for Registration of Foreign Citizens (OVIR) in Dushanbe; hotels can no longer do this for you, and you must register again for each new address. It says that if you do not follow the procedure, you may not be allowed to leave until it is resolved, which may result in fines or detention.
