I think that Tajikistan should remain in the Greylist.

1.) They have tightened rules last year. Now you have to give a fingerprint. See: http://www.rferl.org/content/tajikistan-sim-cards-reregister-security-measure/27403181.html

2.) We rely on user reports here mainly. And this fairly new report seems authentic to me: The hassle of a SIM card in Tajikistan: http://www.centralasiarally.com/2016/01/hassle-sim-card-tajikistan/

So it's possible, but tricky. This site sums it up:

Sim cards are very cheap, but new restrictions make buying a sim card more problematic. You have to show your passport when registering a sim card in Tajikistan and leave a digital fingerprint. You need to have a minimum visa length of 30 days as this is the minimum length of a contract. http://caravanistan.com/phone-internet/tajikistan/

and the visa is possibly the problem: from another report

Next, I headed to the Tcell store to get a SIM card. This should have been easy enough, but the guy behind the counter insisted on seeing my registration form. Problem was, I didn’t have one because they are no longer required for people visiting on tourist visas and staying less than 30 days. http://katieaune.com/16-hours-in-tajikistan/

What to make out of all this?
