Where and how to apply

According to the site of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and that of its main consular directorate, two online services coexist: the electronic visa portal evisa.tj and the electronic visa application center visa.gov.tj. The consular directorate cites among its services to foreign nationals the confirmation and processing of visas, the legalization of documents and registration.

According to the ministry's consular page consulted, the standard visa application is filed with its documents on the electronic visa application center; the applicant then attends the representation for the biometric appointment, and afterwards collects their passport in person.

The electronic visa, for its part, is applied for directly on evisa.tj. Both services are highlighted by the ministry and by its consular directorate; the detail of the screens could not be read, these portals being applications that render nothing but their title on retrieval.

Enter the application online and attach the documents requested.
For a standard application: book the biometric appointment at the competent representation.
Attend the representation for the collection of biometric data.
Await processing: ordinary processing takes several weeks according to the consular page read; an expedited service is offered.

Both online portals (evisa.tj and visa.gov.tj) are applications that render nothing but their title on retrieval: neither the categories, nor the documents, nor the payment screens could be read directly on those portals.
The prices and durations of the electronic visa were read on a consular page of one representation, not on the portal itself: a reviewer must check that they hold for the whole network.
The full schedule of consular fees is published as a PDF by the consular directorate; it was not read and none of its amounts is reproduced here.
The processing time specific to the electronic visa is stated on none of the pages read.
The districts covered by the GBAO permit are not stated on the pages read.
The conditions for registering foreign nationals after entry are not stated on the pages read.
What to do in the event of a refusal is not stated on the pages consulted.
The pages read distinguish a visa-free regime by nationality: VisaGuideline reproduces nothing from it, the rule by nationality falling to the nationality selector.
