Summary
Tajik citizens do not need a visa for Tajikistan. If you have since taken another nationality, you travel on your new passport and the entry rules for that nationality apply instead.
Who this page is for
- 01People who previously held Tajik citizenship.
- 02People of Tajik origin now travelling on a foreign passport.
Do former Tajik citizens need a visa?
Tajikistan recognises the passport you hold today. Citizens travelling on their own Tajik passport need no visa to enter their own country.
If you have naturalised elsewhere, check the requirement for your current nationality instead — that is the rule border officers apply. Some countries also operate an origin-based card for former citizens; where Tajikistan does, the authorities publish the eligibility rules.
Eligibility, fees and processing times are decided by the destination government and can change without notice. This page is general information, not legal advice.

Questions travellers ask
Do Tajik citizens need a visa for Tajikistan?
No. A country never requires its own citizens to hold a visa to enter. This page exists for people who once held Tajik citizenship and now travel on a foreign passport.
I changed nationality. What applies when I visit Tajikistan?
You are treated as a national of your new country, so you check the entry requirement for that passport. Eligibility, fees and processing times are decided by the destination government and can change without notice. This page is general information, not legal advice.
