I read that its possible to get Visas upon entering at the airports although not having a letter of invitation..
Does anyone know if it’s true? Because I’m having little luck verifying this on the Internet and I’m already a far way from home (Samara Russia)

What country are you a citizen of? (this may be important for visa purposes). Here is the E-mail of Tajik Embassy in Moscow: embassy_moscow@tajikistan.ru
I failed to find any E-mail of Uzbek embassy, suppose it does not exist. Anyway, I can call to both embassies for you, but I need your nationality.

Welcome to TravelPod hanhendrix...

You mentioned that you're from Samara Russia...so then Item 1 in starlagurl's reply would apply to you.

For anyone from the US, I just researched on the State Department website and found:

For Kyrgyzstan, you can obtain a visa on arrival at the airport.

For Tajikistan, you have to obtain the visa before traveling (because we have a Tajik embassy in the US)

For Uzbekistan, you have to obtain the visa before traveling.
