🛂 Important Instructions for Tourists Applying for a Kyrgyzstan E-Visa
If you are planning to visit Kyrgyzstan through one of our tour packages, please follow these instructions to ensure your visa application process is smooth and hassle-free. Here’s everything you need to know:
✅ Which Visa Type Should You Choose?
When applying for your Kyrgyzstan e-visa, it’s important to select the correct visa type for tourism. Although the system doesn’t specifically label it as “Tourist Visa,” you should choose the following:
Visa Type: “S” – Sapar Visa
Sapar translates to “Trip” or “Travel” in Kyrgyz.
The Sapar Visa is the correct visa for tourism purposes, including sightseeing, cultural visits, hiking, and recreational activities.
📑 Letter of Invitation (LOI) for Tourists Booking Packages with Us
For tourists who have booked tour packages with us, we will provide a Letter of Invitation (LOI). This is a required document for your e-visa application and ensures everything is in order.
The LOI will include:
A fixed tour program with dates and bookings for your trip
Hotel confirmations and tour activity details
This LOI is essential for your e-visa application, and we will provide it once you confirm your tour booking with us.
📋 How to Apply for Your E-Visa:
Apply online through the official Kyrgyzstan e-visa portal: https://www.evisa.e-gov.kg
Select the “Sapar Visa” for tourism purposes.
Upload the necessary documents, including:
Your passport (valid for at least 6 months)
Passport-sized photo
Your Letter of Invitation (LOI) provided by us
📲 Important Step: Send Us Your Reference Number
Once you’ve applied for the e-visa, the system will generate a reference number.
Please send us this reference number immediately. It’s crucial for us to:
Verify and approve your e-visa application with the Kyrgyz State Consular Service.
Without the reference number, we cannot proceed with the approval process.
Once we have the reference number, we will work with the authorities to confirm and finalize your e-visa approval.
🌍 Check Visa Requirements Before Applying!
Did you know that about 60 countries are visa-exempt for tourism visits to Kyrgyzstan? This means that citizens from these countries don’t need an e-visa for short stays (usually up to 60 days) for tourism purposes!
You can easily check if your country is on the visa-exempt list before applying for an e-visa:
Visit the official Kyrgyzstan e-visa portal or consult with us directly to find out if you need a visa.
If you’re from a visa-exempt country, you can travel to Kyrgyzstan without needing to apply for an e-visa at all! If your country does require a visa, follow the steps above to apply for the Sapar Visa.
🛬 At the Border:
Once your e-visa is approved, print out the confirmation and carry it with you. You’ll need to present this at the airport or land border when entering Kyrgyzstan.
🛠️ Additional Tips:
The e-visa processing time is usually 3–5 working days.
Double-check all your documents and travel details before submitting your e-visa application.
