FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial security companies in Tajikistan must hold licensing from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Verify licensing documentation before engaging any provider. Unlicensed operators have no legal standing during security incidents.

Armed and unarmed close protection are both available in Dushanbe through licensed operators. The appropriate configuration depends on the principal profile and specific activities. Armed CPO is advisable for senior principals given the terrorism-linked risk in Tajikistan.

Inside-terminal collection at Dushanbe International Airport (DYU) with a pre-positioned vehicle is the standard protocol. The bodyguard meets the principal inside the arrivals hall before they exit to the kerb. An operations controller tracks the flight and maintains communication with the driver throughout the transfer.

The FCDO advises against travel to areas near the Afghan border and the GBAO region of Tajikistan. The bodyguard programme excludes these areas from standard itineraries. The 2018 Danghara attack demonstrated that terrorism-linked risk can affect visitors in areas outside the capital. Any movement outside Dushanbe requires specific route-based risk assessment.

The medical plan for every Dushanbe assignment includes local private clinic capacity for initial stabilisation and medical evacuation to Tashkent or Istanbul for serious cases. Medevac provider contacts are confirmed active before the principal’s arrival. Medical evacuation insurance is the baseline requirement.
