What is a border permit?
Some border areas are subject to strict regulations on the movement of people, particularly foreigners. If you wish to visit these areas, it is essential to apply for a border permit in advance.
There are five restricted areas.
- Chuy region: Chong-Kemin valley
- Issyk-Kul region: Karkyra, Sary-Jaz, Engilchek, Khan-Tengri national park, Sarychat-Ertash reserve, Ak Shyrak and Karasay checkpoint
- Naryn region: Ak Say valley, Lake Kol-Suu, Kok-Kiya canyon, Lake Chatyr-Kul and Torugart checkpoint
- Osh region: Trans-Alaï range (Lenin peak)
- Batken region: Kadamjai, Leïlek and Batken districts
You can order a permit for one or more areas. For simplicity’s sake, we have decided to sell only a 5-zone border permit. Please note that the districts of Leilek and Batken districts are not included.

How do I choose the date of entry into the border zone?
If you’re not sure about the date of entry into the border zone, it doesn’t matter. The permit is valid for 1 month (or 2 months, depending on the option chosen) from that date. You can enter the border zone at any time during the period of validity of your permit.

The permit is valid for 1 month (from the date of entry into the border zone). As an option, it can be extended to 2 months. This costs €5 per permit.
When can I collect my border permit?
As soon as your permit is ready, you will receive a confirmation e-mail and you can collect it from the Salut hotel in Bishkek or from the delivery point you indicated.

What are the cancellation policy?
Please note that in the event of cancellation (for whatever reason), no refund is possible.
Very easy and smooth process for the permit- also a very honest price compared to other agencies.
It couldn’t be easier; you fill in the form, make the payment and that’s it. I got an email they received the payment and would start the application, and another one that my application was being handled and a week later that it was ready. We chose to pick up the permit in Hotel Salut and indeed it was neatly waiting there for us, among many other permits. Great service that saves you the hassle of obtaining permits. Thanks alot.
There’s no need to worry about which areas you want to visit, because all areas are included! I compared with several agencies and OunTravela offers 5 zones when other agencies offer only one zone for the same price.
BIG THANKS for this service and for your fantastic book!
Very cheap compared to what other companies ask!! Thanks for the quick and professional service! By the way the book Explore Kyrgyzstan was very helpful, thanks a lot! 😉
I get urgent border permit in 4 days, thanks !
