Travellers visiting for religious purposes must include this information on their visa application. People involved in missionary work have to get a work visa and register with the Office of Religious Affairs. You can’t be involved in any religious activity on a tourist visa because it is illegal.

Visit the Canadian Travel and Tourism website for more information on entry and exit requirements.

It is sunny most of the time in Kyrgyzstan. There is hardly any rainfall, but the west wind does bring heavy rains and snowfall. The ideal time to visit Kyrgyzstan is between May and October.

The winter is impacted by the arctic winds of Siberia and the Arctic Ocean. This can result in precipitation and snowfall. During this season you can see frequent fogs and drizzling rains. The precipitation often comes on suddenly. The south has cyclones that are come from the Mediterranean Sea.

The thermal zones in Kyrgyzstan experience changes. Spring is short and begins in late February. Summer lasts from May to September with highs reaching over 35. In high altitudes it’s very cool with even colder nights. Autumn arrives late with the autumn air lasting until December. Winter can be well below zero.

While it’s currently stable in Kyrgyzstan, there is potential for civil unrest because of the political and ethnic tension. There is especially potential in the south end southwest area of the country. Demonstrations are known to happen, especially in the capital Bishkek. Avoid demonstrations, political rallies, and gatherings as these can turn violent.

Robberies and mugging happen by hotels, public transportation, and other areas with foreigners. Do not travel alone at night. Only use reputable taxi services as scams are common.

Kyrgyzstan is a beautiful country with many attractions travellers can enjoy. Mount Sulaiman Too is a famous mountain in the southern city of Osh. Those of the Islamic faith know the mountain as a sacred place.

The area has a large museum that includes many historical sites and two 16th century mosques. They will also see many petroglyphs of humans, animals, and geometric shapes as well as a medieval bath. There are 17 places to worship. This site is a place where history and culture come together.

When you prepare for travel to Kyrgyzstan, there are some things you need to take with you on your trip.

  • Visa and Passport — You need a visa to travel to Kyrgyzstan if you’re planning to stay more than 60 days. You will also need a passport that is valid from 6 months from the date of entry.
  • Health and Safety — It’s important to pack for your health and safety in Kyrgyzstan. Prescription medicines, medical supplies, and over the counter medicines are what you need to consider before travelling to Kyrgyzstan. You should also pack supplies to prevent injury and illness and a first aid kit.

Canadian consular services can help travellers with many issues they may face including passport services. Once in Kyrgyzstan, the information for the Canadian Embassy is:
