How to get a COVID-19 test in Bishkek

HOW TO GET A COVID-19 TEST IN BISHKEK?

Passenger location forms, quarantines, closed borders, and PRC tests — travelling during the pandemic has become something of a nightmare. Luckily for us in Kyrgyzstan, after a difficult summer our borders are now completely open for tourism with no curfews or strict restrictions in place. However, you will need a negative PCR test to enter.

If you’re planning on visiting Kyrgyzstan this year, it’s pretty safe to assume you’ll need to take a PCR test when your time has come to leave the country. If you’re not a native Russian or Kyrgyz speaker, booking a PCR test can be a daunting task. Not to worry, we’ve got you covered in this guide on how to take a COVID-19 test in Bishkek.

PCR Test

Getting a COVID-19 test in Bishkek is probably a lot easier than you thought. There are six laboratories in Kyrgyzstan that conduct PCR tests with labs located in all the main cities including Bishkek, Osh, Karakol, Jalalabad and Batken.

The first option would be to take a PCR via a state laboratory. Located in Bishkek and Osh, the PCR test costs 1,574 soms (Roughly $18). The results are issued after 16.00 on the day of the testing, and results are provided in Kyrgyz, Russian and English and are protected by a QR code.

The second option would be to take a test from a private lab. Our recommendation would be to use Aqua Lab. They are by far the most efficient and reputable private lab that carry out PCR tests in Kyrgyzstan.
