Dear Alexandra & Andre

Thank you for your letter,

Yes, the President has signed the law on non-visa regime for additional 44 countries.
The law will come into force on Friday, July 27, 2012.
Citizens of developed countries, including US, Canada, Australia, all EU countries (except for Bulgaria, Romania and Cyprus) etc., will not need visa to stay up to 60 days in KG.
If you are in Kyrgyzstan already it will be not any problem..

We have talked with the Main Border Control office in Bishkek and they confirm to us that the border Kyzyl Art (Bor Dobe) between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan is open for the foreigners,

Please let us know if there any questions,

Best regards,

Excellent news :D

Lets just hope there is no U turn next year!

Woo hoo!
 

We're in Moscow at the moment and heading east. We couldn't get all the visas sorted at home in Canada so decided to give the 'Stans a miss in this direction (aside from Kazakhstan) but maybe we can pop down to Kyrgyzstan on the way to Almaty. :D

Confirmed. A couple of friends landed here (Bishkek) on Friday and just got a stamp in their passport instead of having to buy a visa etc.

I would make Kyrgz a priority on a trip to this part of the world. IMHO, it'll be a highlight of your trip.

+1. I'm riding with 2 Polish bikers who entered Kygyz from Tajik today without a visa.

Excellent news! :cool4:

Great News, hope the same applies next year :thumbup1:
