Kyrgyzstan family visas

Family members of foreigners living in Kyrgyzstan on service, investment, special work, family visit, student or digital nomad visas, or on a Unified Permit or resident card, receive the foreigner's family visa (FF): spouse, children under 18, parents of minor children, children with disabilities and dependent parents. Family members of investment visa holders receive it for the full validity of the investment visa and free of consular charges.

The RL visa is issued for visiting close relatives or for family reunification, with a validity of up to 90 calendar days. Where necessary, a person recognised as a refugee can, with supporting documents and in coordination with the national security authorities, receive a single-entry exit and re-entry "Tuugandar" visa valid for up to 60 days.

Passports must remain valid for at least six months after the end of the requested Kyrgyz visa, contain at least two blank pages and be undamaged, without unofficial marks. Supporting documents must be in Kyrgyz or Russian or translated into one of these languages.

Applications on evisa.e-gov.kg are completed in English with scanned passport pages and a digital photo, and paid by card, which need not be in the applicant's name. Review takes five working days from the moment the application is complete. Fees depend on visa category, type and period and are not refunded after a refusal or for unused visas.

After arrival, foreigners must register at their place of stay within five working days, unless their country is on the government list of nationalities exempted from registration for a stated period.

Ethnic Kyrgyz and people born in Kyrgyzstan or the Kirghiz SSR can instead use the "Meken" visa (M) of up to one year for visiting or returning.
