the checkpoint between Andijan (Uzbekistan) and Osh (Kyrgyzstan): Can non-citizens of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan cross here?
Yes, without any problems.
I crossed this checkpoint four times in September. There weren’t many people, and if you mention that you're a tourist, they’ll let you skip the line altogether. When I traveled from Osh to Andijan to visit the bazaar and walk around, both borders took me about 10–15 minutes to pass.
Shared taxis travel to the checkpoint on the Andijan side. On the Osh side, marshrutkas (shared minibusses) run regularly. If you stand with your back to the checkpoint, you’ll find them on the right, about 100 meters away.
Good day! We’re traveling by car. Can tourists cross this checkpoint in their own vehicles?
Yes, you can cross in your own car. I crossed in July with Kazakh license plates and a Kazakh passport.
I crossed this checkpoint last summer, going from Uzbekistan to Kyrgyzstan. The entire process took just 15 minutes.
The Kyrgyz customs side is chaotic on both ends. When entering Uzbekistan, we stood in line for 1.5 hours and thought it was slow. But going back was much worse—crowds surged at the gates, women were shouting, and there was a crush of people. And this was just to get into another enormous line that took at least three to four hours to clear.
We eventually had to ask the border guards to let us through the car windows as tourists, which they kindly did. On the Uzbek side, everything was quick and orderly. In summary, this checkpoint isn’t for the faint of heart.
When did that happen? Six months ago, I crossed with no issues at all. Tourists who don’t look local are often invited to skip the line.
I crossed this checkpoint in September from Andijan to Osh.
On the Kyrgyz side, there are plenty of currency exchange counters—at least 20. The exchange rate was uniform but decent. I exchanged the rest of my soms there.
Just outside the customs area, by the gas station, there’s a marshrutka that will take you to the city center for 20 soms.
Saya ingin menyeberang perbatasan dari Osh menuju Andijan pada bulan Juni 2026 malam hari pukul 22:00.
Adakah taxi door to door antar perbatasan yang bisa saya sewa?
Pos pemeriksaan di perbatasan Osh–Andijan bernama “Dustlik” (beroperasi 24 jam). Di sisi perbatasan Uzbekistan terdapat banyak sopir taksi, dan mereka pergi ke berbagai tujuan. Perjalanan ke Andijan memakan waktu sekitar satu jam, sementara di wilayah Kyrgyzstan kota Osh sangat dekat dengan perbatasan.
Harga kemungkinan sekitar 150.000 untuk satu mobil (jika kalian beberapa orang, biayanya bisa dibagi bersama), tergantung seberapa baik kalian menawar. Seharusnya tidak akan ada masalah untuk sampai ke sana.
The checkpoint on the Osh–Andijan border is called “Dustlik” (it operates 24 hours a day). On the Uzbek side of the border there are a lot of taxi drivers there, and they go to many different destinations. It takes about an hour to get to Andijan, and on the Kyrgyz side Osh is very close to the border.
The price will probably be somewhere around 150,000 for the whole car (if there are several of you, you can split this amount), depending on how well you bargain. Getting there shouldn’t be a problem.
