Tajik visa, word of caution
I submitted a visa application for my MC travels to Tajikistan. It went to the Washington DC embassy. The passport came back with no visa and no explanation. An email was ignored. I called them and asked what the problem was. He said he wanted a copy of the flight reservations and a copy of my hotel reservation. The form asks for a place where I would be staying, which was filled out on the form.
I asked him why he kept my visa fee ($75) and he said that is just the way it is. I suggested to him I submitted exactly in accordance with the requirements as stated on the website and what I have done twice before in previous years, but he was obviously not interested.
So, it may be a good idea to add this information to your application and maybe call them to confirm what the demands of the day are.
Anybody have a guesthouse / contact info in the south / east who might cooperate in getting a confirmation.

Sent my passport to London 2 days ago. For question 22 which asks about "Place of stay in the Republic of Tajikistan" I wrote "No fixed bookings as yet!" Also this made question 23 have many blank fields re: contact details for the place of stay. I hope this won't screw it up... ![Sad](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/sad.gif) Any thoughts?

+1 for Bishkek..
using my canada passport, it was a little bit of a struggle cause i wanted/ needed to pay in Som (they wanted US$), in the end they accepted.
had the visa in about 10min... with the GBAO permit.

Since mid June 2016, you can apply for a e_visa (and GBAO permit) here:
https://www.evisa.tj/index.evisa.html
We applied on the road last summer and we had it cleared done and dusted within 24h with email attaching visa and GBAO permit. Just needed a printer to print it.
It is also cheaper online I think. Worth it.

I plan on returning to Tajikistan this year. Did the e-visa yesterday. $50 for the visa and $20 for the GBAO. It was very easy and very user friendly. Got the visa letter same day by email.
