Do I Need a Visa for Kyrgyzstan?

A visa is required for certain types of travel to Kyrgyzstan. US citizens are permitted to enter Kyrgyzstan for tourism for up to 60 days without a visa. However, a visa is required if you are traveling to Kyrgyzstan for religious or business purposes, and this visa must be obtained in advance of arrival via the Embassy of the Kyrgyz Republic in Washington, DC. If you are traveling to Kyrgyzstan, it is highly recommended that you also obtain a visa for Kazakhstan. Air travel out of Kyrgyzstan is very limited and unreliable, so it is very possible you may need to enter Kazakhstan to get a flight back home, and you should be prepared with the travel documents that will enable you to do so. Additionally, if you plan to transit through Russia on your way to Kyrgyzstan, be sure to have a Russian transit visa in advance, even if you are simply changing planes. It is also necessary to have a passport that will be valid for at least six months after the planned date of departure from Kyrgyzstan, and the passport must have an entirely blank visa page.
