Hi MSkop,
That's what I want to know as well.
When do you wan to go?

I want to be there end of July early August.
From what I gathered so far is that you can get the tourist visa on arrival (NZ passport) but not the permit. Also if you need to register with OVIR it is like $100 and then the small cost for the permit. In that case might as well get both before departure at the embassy?
Cheers

Hi mskop
If you will stay in Tajikistan more than 1 month , you should regitreted with OVIR .. For GBAO permit , you will have to apply for it later .. it will cost you around $5 if you do it yourself (going to government office, waiting for hours, ...) .. the travel agencies can prepare it for you.
if you need help with that or budget travelling to Pamirs, write to bomijahon@yandex.ru they can help with that ...
