Level 3: Reconsider Travel

Travelers should be prepared for travel restrictions to be put into effect with little or no advance notice. Visit the U.S. Embassy Dushanbe website for additional information on these new measures.

Medical protocols in Tajikistan are not consistent with U.S. standards.  Consider declining any medical testing unrelated to COVID-19.  

Due to the possibility of quarantine of unknown length, carry additional supplies of necessary medication in carry-on luggage.  Contact the U.S. Embassy if you are subject to quarantine or prior to undergoing any invasive medical testing or procedures.

Please read the Safety and Security section on the country information page.

If you decide to travel to Tajikistan:

• Have a plan to depart Tajikistan which does not rely on U.S. government assistance.
• Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive security messages and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
• Consult the CDC website for the most up-to-date information.  
• For the most recent information on what you can do to reduce your risk of contracting COVID-19 please see the CDC’s latest recommendations.  
• Visit the COVID-19 crisis page on travel.state.gov for the latest information.  
• Visit our Embassy webpage on COVID-19

U.S. citizens who travel abroad should always have a contingency plan for emergency situations. Review the Traveler’s Checklist.
