U.S. Travel Advisory — Tajikistan: Level 2 (terrorism, landmines, limited consular assistance)

U.S. State Department travel advisory for Tajikistan (published 2026-09-04) warns of terrorist activity, unexploded landmines and cluster munitions along the Afghan-Tajik and Uzbek-Tajik borders, in the Vakhsh and Rasht valleys, Romit hiking area, and some districts (Surobad, Sarazam). The advisory also notes limited ability to assist U.S.-Tajik dual nationals and imposes travel restrictions for U.S. government employees (e.g., no nighttime intercity travel).
