What you need

  • Passport: Must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in Kyrgyzstan.

  • Return Ticket: A confirmed return or onward ticket is usually required.
  • Photo: Digital photograph meeting e-visa requirements (typically 35x45mm, white background, clear face). Specific dimensions will be requested by the portal.

How to apply online

  • Visit the official e-visa portal: https://www.evisa.e-gov.kg/
  • Register an account or log in.
  • Select 'Apply for e-visa'.
  • Choose your visa type (Tourist, Business, Private Visit) and nationality (Afghanistan).
  • Fill out the online application form accurately with personal details, passport information, travel dates, and purpose of visit.
  • Upload required documents: digital photo and scanned copy of your passport's bio page.
  • Pay the visa fee online using a valid credit or debit card (Visa, MasterCard).

Fees & processing time

  • Visa Fee:
  • Single Entry Tourist Visa (30 days): Approximately $50 USD.
  • Single Entry Tourist Visa (60 days): Approximately $75 USD.
  • Business/Private Visit visas have similar or slightly higher fees depending on duration and entry type.
  • VFS/BLS Service Fee: Not applicable for e-visa applications.
  • Total Cost Estimate: The fee stated on the portal is the total cost for the e-visa.
  • Standard Processing Time: 3-5 working days.
  • Express/Priority Option: Information on express processing availability and cost is usually indicated on the portal during the application process. It would likely incur an additional fee and reduce processing to 1-2 working days.

Tips for Afghanistan travelers

  • Apply in advance: Apply for your e-visa at least 2-3 weeks before your planned departure to allow for processing and any potential issues.
  • Common rejection reasons: Incomplete or inaccurate information in the application, insufficient financial proof (if requested during later checks), issues with passport validity or condition, and unclear purpose of visit. For Afghan citizens, ensuring all documentation is perfectly aligned with requirements is crucial.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: For e-visa applications, there is no VFS/BLS involvement; you apply directly through the official government portal. Sticker visas (if e-visa is not an option for a specific purpose) would require checking with the Kyrgyz embassy or consulate in a neighboring country (e.g., Uzbekistan, Tajikistan) as there is no Kyrgyz embassy in Afghanistan.
  • Current travel advisories or bilateral notes: Always check the latest travel advisories from your country's foreign ministry and be aware of any specific bilateral agreements or restrictions between Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan. The political situation can influence travel requirements.
  • Extension options inside Kyrgyzstan: If you need to extend your stay beyond the e-visa's validity, you typically need to apply for an extension at the State Migration Service of Kyrgyzstan before your current visa expires. This usually requires a valid reason and supporting documents.
