Kyrgyzstan travel advice

Kyrgyzstan entry requirements
It is possible for British nationals and those of most other western countries to obtain a 30-day tourist visa on arrival at Bishkek's Manas International airport, making Kyrgyzstan the easiest of the central Asian countries to visit. The cost is approximately $30 (£15).

Travellers must be able to show a passport that is valid for at least six months after arrival.

Health in Kyrgyzstan
Tap water is unsafe to drink. Current inoculation requirements should be discussed with a GP. Travellers should not travel to Kyrgyzstan without comprehensive medical insurance.
