Registration in Kyrgyzstan

Citizens from certain countries are required to register at local police stations (OVIR/OVD) within 5 days of their arrival, including weekends and the arrival date. Registration can be arranged as a separate service. Generally, citizens of visa-required countries entering Kyrgyzstan must register within 5 days of arrival. Failure to register incurs a fine of 10,000 som, and departure may be blocked until the fine is paid, potentially leading to missed flights and additional expenses.

Uzbekistan is a notable exception; although citizens do not need a visa, they are required to register.
