Also Kyrgyz visas can be obtained or prolonged in Consular Agencies in airport of Bishkek, in Karakol, in Naryn and in Osh.

If there is no Kyrgyz Embassy or Consulate in your country, you travel as a group and plan to enter Kyrgyzstan not via Bishkek airport, then another option is just for you. Travel groups (4 persons and more) can receive group Kyrgyz visa on paper (and not in the passports). In this case ITMC submits application form with passport data to Consular Department in Bishkek, and in due time we get group Kyrgyz visas on paper. Then this group visa can be sent to you by express mail.

Kyrgyz authorities plan to open Consular offices on Kyrgyz border posts, in particular on Torugart. However it is just a plan yet.
For more information about Cosular issues you can visit web site of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyz Republic www.mfa.gov.kg.
