Border Permits in Kyrgyzstan – Everything You Need to Know
Kyrgyzstan is home to some of the most stunning and remote destinations in Central Asia — but many of these natural wonders lie within special border zones near China, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan. To visit them, a border permit is required, even for locals.
These border zones in Kyrgyzstan are protected areas due to historical security agreements, especially along the Kyrgyz-Chinese border, where a 50 km buffer zone exists. Access is monitored by military checkpoints, and entry without an official permit is not allowed.
