U.S. Issues Level 2 Travel Advisory for Tajikistan
The U.S. Department of State issued a Level 2 travel advisory for Tajikistan due to terrorism, unexploded landmines, and limited ability to assist dual nationals. Some areas have increased risk, including the Afghan border and Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast.
Impact and considerations
Tajikistan has risks of terrorism and landmines; business travelers should plan carefully and avoid high-risk areas.
Key points
- Terrorist organizations are present with risk of violence.
- Unexploded landmines along Afghan-Tajik and Uzbek-Tajik borders, Vakhsh and Rasht valleys, and Romit hiking area.
- U.S. government employees prohibited from intercity travel at night; special authorization required for border areas and GBAO.
- Tajikistan does not recognize dual nationality with the U.S.; dual nationals may face extra scrutiny.
