In the course of today’s session deputies of the Lower Chamber of Tajikistan’s Parliament have approved amendments to the law “On status of foreign citizens in Tajikistan”. The amendments were offered by the President and were approved unanimously without additional discussions.
According to the newly approved amendments, Tajikistan can unilaterally abolish visa regime for citizens of several countries.
When presenting the amendments to the chamber First Deputy Foreign Minister Mahmudjon Sobirov said that several countries – Malaysia, Singapore, Turkey and Egypt have unilaterally abolished visa regime for citizens of Tajikistan.
“The Government of Tajikistan is planning to abolish visa regime for citizens of the United States, European Union and some other countries of South-East Asia, coming to Tajikistan for a one-month period” he said.
According to M.Sobirov, unilateral abolition of visa regime will contribute to attraction of foreign investments to the national economy, tourism and democracy development.

I wonder if the United State would meet Tajikistan half-way and at least increase the number of visas for the citizens of Tajikistan willing to travel to the U.S. Tajikistan is one of the countries which does not benefit as much from H-1B and H-2B visas that are issued in the United States for foreign workers to perform various specialty and non-agricultural services. The Lower Chamber of Tajikistan’s Parliament should have considered and included, if necessary, the issue of increasing the number visas with the U.S. Government as a precursor to visa abolition for U.S. citizens.
