Pakistan passport holders need an eVisa to enter Kyrgyzstan. The process is entirely online — no embassy visit required. As of 2026, the eVisa is the standard way to visit for tourism or business.

eVisa is the only option
Pakistan passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Kyrgyzstan. You must apply and receive approval before you travel.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Count 6 months from your entry date, not your departure. If your passport expires even one day before that 6-month mark, you'll be denied boarding.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to https://evisa.e-gov.kg/ and fill out the application. Upload a scanned copy of your passport bio page and a passport-style photo. Pay the fee online. Processing usually takes 3-5 business days.
2
Receive and print your eVisa
Once approved, you'll get the eVisa by email. Print a copy — you'll need to show it at check-in and on arrival. Also save a digital copy on your phone.
3
Prepare your documents for travel
Before heading to the airport, gather: passport (6+ months validity), printed eVisa, return/onward ticket, first night hotel booking, and travel insurance if you have it. Keep them in your carry-on.

Arrive at Manas International Airport (Bishkek)
Most flights from Pakistan arrive at Manas International Airport. After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control'. Have your passport, eVisa, and return ticket ready. The officer will stamp you in — usually takes 2-5 minutes.

Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim. Then walk through customs (green channel if nothing to declare). You're now in Kyrgyzstan.

Frequently asked questions
Processing usually takes 3-5 business days. Apply at least a week before your trip to be safe. There is no expedited option.
The standard eVisa fee is around $50 USD (subject to change). Payment is online via credit or debit card.
No, the eVisa is not extendable. You must leave before it expires. If you need more time, you'd need to exit and re-enter with a new visa.
If you're staying airside and not passing through passport control, you don't need a visa. But if you need to enter the country (e.g., to switch terminals or stay overnight), you'll need the eVisa.
Rejections are rare but can happen if your photo or passport scan is unclear. You can reapply with corrected documents. There's no appeal process — just submit a new application.
No. Immigration strictly enforces the 6-month validity rule. If your passport expires sooner, renew it before applying for the eVisa.
For stays under 30 days, no registration is needed. For longer stays, your hotel or host should register you. Most tourists don't need to worry about this.
