Visa to Kyrgyzstan through the embassy
A visa can be obtained at the embassy of the Kyrgyz Republic abroad. Embassies issue a visa only if there is an invitation/visa support received from a travel agency in Kyrgyzstan. However, citizens of some countries are exempt from the need to provide visa support.

Citizens of the following countries can obtain a visa to Kyrgyzstan without an invitation (LOI):

PhilippinesSouth Africa

For citizens of all other countries, visa support (including LOI) will be required to obtain a visa to Kyrgyzstan.

For visa support of Kyrgyzstan the following information is required:

Purpose of visit

Copy of passport
If you apply for a visa to Kyrgyzstan in a country that is not your country of citizenship, we will need a copy of your visa to that country.
Registration in Kyrgyzstan
Citizens of some countries must register at local police stations (OVIR / OVD) within 5 days of arrival, including weekends and the date of arrival. Registration may be provided as a separate service. As a rule, citizens of countries that require a visa to Kyrgyzstan must register within 5 days of entering the country. Failure to register will result in a fine of 10,000 Kyrgyz som, and border guards will not allow you to leave the country until the fine is paid. This can result in a missed flight and additional expenses.

Uzbekistan is a notable exception, as its citizens do not need a visa, but they do need to register.

It is also worth noting that citizens of 92 countries are exempt from registration for a certain number of days when visiting Kyrgyzstan.
