I am talking about the Uzbek-Kyrgyz border. You can pay 1500 Kyrgyz soms to get a test on the spot or show vaccine card to waive the pcr requirement. A friend of friend used the vaccine card to go through it without problem

Interesting, but still no official info about this new rule…

At least going through land border there is no risk. Worst case is vaccination card not recognized and have to get a pcr on the spot and it is not more expensive than getting pcr in Uzbekistan I think

Update, from 19 june onwards (or 12 june if you come in by land) both a negative PCR test or proof of vaccination should suffice to enter Kyrgyzstan. The articel does not specify what counts as proof of vaccination, it also does not mention from which point in time you are considered fully vaccinated (e.g. two weeks after the last dose).

On a covid related note, I do see that the number of daily cases is currently on an upward trajectory in Kyrgyzstan. I might wait till July before I finalize my august plans.

No one as far as I know. Make sure you have a pcr-test even if fully vaccinated.

Thanks, it‘s better to have a PCR test, even by some airlines required for boarding.
