Kyrgyzstan has one of the most liberal visa policies in Central Asia, with visa-free access or e-visas available to many nationalities. However, some travelers are still required to obtain a Letter of Invitation (LOI) when applying for a visa at an embassy.
The LOI confirms the traveler’s purpose and itinerary and must come from a licensed Kyrgyz tour operator or hosting organization.
You may need an LOI if:
Your country is not eligible for visa-free travel or e-visa
You are applying for a long-term or multiple-entry visa
The embassy or immigration requires additional confirmation for your trip
STANTOURS provides LOIs for Kyrgyzstan without a tour booking.
