- 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.
