Visa-free entry is straightforward
Brunei passport holders can enter Tajikistan for up to 30 days without any visa. Just ensure your passport is valid for 6+ months and you have a return ticket. No fees, no forms — just a stamp on arrival.
Overstaying is costly
The 30-day visa-free period is not extendable. Overstaying even by a day can result in fines of 200-500 TJS and potential trouble at departure. Set a reminder to leave on time.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Dushanbe or Khujand airport
Most travellers fly into Dushanbe International Airport (DYU) or Khujand Airport (LBD). Follow signs to 'Passport Control' — there's usually a separate queue for foreigners.
2
Present your passport and ticket
Hand over your passport and any requested documents (return ticket, accommodation). The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in. No visa fee is charged.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel. You're free to enter Tajikistan.
