Tajikistan land border crossings, 2026
Cars do not cross with you on most of these borders: you walk through both posts and a second car waits. We arrange both sides with our sister services RideUZ (Uzbekistan) and RideKG (Kyrgyzstan).

Practical tips
Cross in daylight even where a post is listed as 24-hour. Carry US dollars in clean notes; money changers work on both sides of the Uzbek borders. Your Tajik e-visa (and the GBAO permit for Kyzyl-Art and Kulma) must be in hand before you arrive — none of these posts issue visas.
