3rd party insurance Ukraine, Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan,
I know that I can't get insurance for my bike once outside of the EU, so have to hope like hell that I don't have a problem.
However does anyone know if I can buy 3th party insurance at the borders of Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia? Or is there another process

Anyone has good suggestions where to get 3rd party insurance in Atyrau, Kazakhstan?
I asked hotel and they said greencard is enough... I highly doubt it if something happens.

Don't know where you can get it BUT met two travellers recently who did have greencard and it was OK. We bought insurance at the border because we got stopped so much in Russia, and thought the Kazakhs would do the same. Wouldn't bother again though as we didn't get stopped once although we did have several incidents. But do make sure you register your visa within 5 days, even if you're not stopping in one place. All the paperwork and agencies say you don't have to do this and we didn't but we got arrested at the border as a consequence when trying to get back into Russia. Do it at a hotel but you have to ask them to do it. Its free.

Got this done today in Atyrau.
Spent quite much time for searching an immigration office, but found it finally from N47º 05.603´ E51º 55.270
Ok, so sounds like I do not need this insurance for "showing to the police".
