Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Tajikistan eVisa at the official portal before departure.

| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your Peruvian passport must be valid for at least the full duration of your stay in Tajikistan. Tajikistan does not enforce a strict 6-month validity rule, but airlines may check for at least 3 months beyond your departure date. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers at Dushanbe Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready — they will check it before stamping you in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Tajikistan. Border officers occasionally ask for this, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or card | Have at least $50 USD per day in cash or a credit card statement ready. Tajikistan immigration rarely checks this for eVisa holders, but it helps if questioned about your stay. | Recommended |
eVisa required — no visa on arrival for Peruvians
Peruvian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Tajikistan. You must apply for the eVisa online before you travel. Without it, you'll be denied boarding or entry.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Tajikistan, not from your departure date. Double-check before applying.
