Passport validity is strictly enforced
Kyrgyz immigration will deny entry if your passport has less than 6 months of validity from your arrival date. Check your passport now — if it's close to expiring, renew it before booking flights.
No visa extension available
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you need to stay longer, you must leave the country and re-enter. Overstaying can result in fines and entry bans.
