COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

  • Tajikistan is a major drug-transit route from Afghanistan — customs and police are highly attentive to drug-residue-style stops.
  • Hijab restrictions apply in formal settings (schools, government) under 2024 law but not on the street generally.

JURISDICTION NOTES

  • GBAO (Gorno-Badakhshan) requires a separate permit for foreign travel beyond the Pamir Highway.
  • Border zones with Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan have seen periodic clashes — verify current state.
