Entry requirements

|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at Manas International Airport (Bishkek) or any land border crossing.

| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date | Your passport needs at least two blank pages for the visa sticker and entry stamp. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced at check-in and at the border — airlines will deny boarding if your passport expires sooner. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket out of Kyrgyzstan. A bus ticket to Kazakhstan or a flight to Tashkent works — just show you're leaving within your visa validity. | Recommended |
