What to do next
- Apply at the embassy or visa centre. Holders of a North Korea passport apply through the Tajikistan embassy or consulate, or its official visa application centre, in their country of residence.
- Wait for the visa before booking. Do not book non-refundable travel until the visa is issued and in your passport.
- Check the visa window. Before you fly, check the validity dates and the number of entries the issued visa allows.
Before you go

- Passport usually needs 6+ months of validity beyond your travel dates
- Supporting documents the embassy asks for (itinerary, funds, accommodation)

What this means
Holders of a North Korea passport must obtain a visa for Tajikistan before travelling. Apply through the Tajikistan embassy or consulate (or its official visa application centre) in your country of residence, and do not book non-refundable travel until the visa is issued.
Whatever the requirement, your passport generally needs at least six months of validity beyond your travel dates, and border officers can ask for proof of onward travel and sufficient funds. Rules on this page cover ordinary passports and short tourist visits — work, study and long stays follow different rules.
