The holders of tourist visas are NO longer required to register with OVIR unless the entire stay in Tajikistan is over 30 days, in which case they should register with OVIR prior to the 30 day period.
Holders of all other visa categories are required to register with OVIR within three days of arrival in Tajikistan. Some hotels, however, are also allowed to register their guests on behalf of the visitor.
