Travelling without a visa, work permit or other legal documents or crossing the borders illegally is not a reasonable kind of decision. If you do not have all the legal documents you need for travelling abroad, you are putting yourself at a big risk. If you cross borders without having a visa for the country you are entering, you are breaking the law.
If you are travelling to the country with a free visa regime for Tajik citizens – please check the information about entry requirements, the purpose of the visa and duration of stay without registration, the necessity to register with local authorities, etc.
Be careful!
There are criminal groups operating and taking advantage of people who decide to travel illegally.
They promise to bring you to the country of your choice, but they do not tell you about the painful journey, about having to hide in trucks and experience other inhumane treatments. They do not tell you about not having the right to work upon your arrival in the new country, and about the possibility that all may have been for nothing because the country you arrive in sends you back to Tajikistan. They may make you lose all your savings on a wasted journey.
Other situations can put you at risk
Even if you travel abroad legally, if you stay over the validity of your visa/work permit, you will be an irregular migrant which may cause you legal consequences. Remember that you will always be in a vulnerable position if you do not have proper documentation or a valid permit. If you are in Russian Federation now, please register with local authorities until 15 June 2021 if you have not done so yet. More detailed information can be found here
Without legal permits, the authorities of the foreign country will expel you and return you to Tajikistan.
Criminal groups may also promise a job or another opportunity abroad. They may force their victims to do hard work without pay, or coerce them into other types of exploitation, including servitude or forced prostitution.
Watch out!
