Kyrgyzstan Visa On Arrival

Kyrgyzstan offers a Visa On Arrival program that can be applied for and obtained when entering the country. There is currently only one entry point that issues visas on arrival, the Manas International Airport. The Kyrgyzstan Visa on arrival is available to citizens of approximately 20 countries.

According to the nationality of an individual, Visa On Arrival holders are permitted to stay for either 30 or 60 days. Travelers on arrival at Manas International Airport must join a queue and wait in line before applying. In addition to the application, they must provide their passport and the required supporting documents.

Kyrgyzstan's immigration control is notoriously slow, which often means spending a lot of extra time there before gaining entry. Furthermore, if a traveler encounters a problem with their application, such as forgotten documents, they will be refused entry and will have to return home.

It is highly recommended that individuals apply for an eVisa in advance if they have the option to do so. This will leave plenty of time for troubleshooting if the application cannot be processed the first time.
