Instructions for tourists in Kyrgyzstan
Documents and police controls:
Kyrgyz law requires that everyone be in possession of their documents (passport, visa or copy thereof). It is very rare to be checked in villages. In the event of illegal treatment by police officials, you must call your embassy or consulate. Never give your documents to the police representative, show them only. A police officer must be in uniform to control you. You can require an interpreter and a lawyer if you wish.
