This applies to Albania, Algeria, Barbados, Vanuatu, Vietnam, Dominica, China, Laos, Lebanon, Madagascar, Morocco, Nicaragua, Panama, North Macedonia, Tunisia and Fiji.
In addition, a simplified procedure for obtaining visas in Tajikistan is now valid for citizens of 14 countries, including Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Haiti, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria and Ethiopia.
