Are you going to Tajikistan as a tourist?  You might need to get a Tourist Visa for Tajikistan depending on where you are from.

Don’t forget that, if you are going to travel to the GBAO region, you are going to need to get the GBAO Permit.  You will need to apply for this at the same time that you apply for your visa.
