Please Note:

• The Tajik economy is largely cash-based and very few places accept credit cards.
• A foreign currency declaration form must be completed on arrival and keep a copy for yourself. You cannot leave with more foreign currency than you arrive with. Immigration officers will check your declaration form when you leave.
• You can't exchange US banknotes issued before 1996. 
• Ensure banknotes are in good condition before exchanging or accepting. Only use authorised foreign exchange providers.
