Travel Summary

There is a general threat from terrorism. Attacks cannot be ruled out and could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by expatriates and foreign travellers. See Safety and Security - Terrorism.

Tourism, health and transport infrastructure is poor and travel requires careful planning. Avoid off-road areas immediately adjoining the Afghan, Uzbek and Kyrgyz borders, which may be mined. See Safety and Security - Local Travel.

Tajikistanâs borders with neighbouring countries are subject to closure without notice. It is advisable, therefore, to check in advance which border posts are currently open. You may also wish to check with the Embassy in Dushanbe for up to date information on border restrictions. We currently advise against all but essential travel to the Oblasts of Osh and Jalal-Abad in Kyrgyzstan. See FCO Travel Advice for Kyrgyzstan.

Six British nationals required consular assistance in Tajikistan in the period 1 April 2011 - 29 Feb 2012.

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance including evacuation by air ambulance before travelling. See General - Insurance.
