German citizens do not need a visa for stays of up to 60 days. For longer stays, you should apply for a visa in advance, which is available online or at the embassy. Make sure to have the required documents ready, including an invitation letter if necessary.
The Bishkek Manas International Airport (FRU) is the best airport to reach Kyrgyzstan. From there, there are regular flights to other cities and tourist destinations. Plan your arrival time well to organize transport to the mountains or the city in advance.
The local currency is the Kyrgyz Som (KGS). While larger cities often accept credit cards, it is advisable to always carry cash. ATMs are available in Bishkek, but make sure you have enough cash for remote areas. Carrying US dollars can be beneficial.
A travel insurance is highly recommended as medical care in remote areas is often limited. Recommended vaccinations include Hepatitis A and B as well as Tetanus. Check before your trip if you need to refresh vaccinations to travel safely.
To drive in Kyrgyzstan, you need a valid international driving license. Driving can be challenging; road conditions vary greatly. Make sure to follow local traffic rules and be cautious, especially in rural areas.
Purchase a local SIM card directly at the airport or in shops in Bishkek. Providers like Megacom, Beeline, and O! offer good network coverage. Prices are affordable and offer various prepaid plans tailored to your needs.
