Hi Samy,

I plan to cross Azerbaijan on my way to Mongolia and Siberia and be in Baku around 12-15 of May. I will stay at some friends for as long as it takes to get the ferry either to Turkmenbashi Port (if I get a visa) or to Aktau in Kazakhstan.
Do you know anything regarding the schedule of the ferry?

Afterward I will post an update here, but as far as I know no one bended the 72 hour rule.

Maybe we can have a in Baku.

Best regards,
Adrian

I also heard/read about it, but only heard.

It is not easy to receive definit information from policemen or other places. When you face this problem in the border in or out you will experience all and we will learn better after your sharing.

Will try to ask someone about this but not easy...

Hey all,
I'm currently trying to find more information on the 3 day rule. Right now I am in Georgia for the next few months before I continue into Azerbaijan in the start of May.

I have not gotten my Uzbek visa yet and I was planning on doing that in Azerbaijan as there is an embassy there... and not in Georgia. But with only 3 days this is not a possibility.

What is the bond and where can I find info about it? Does this allow me to stay longer? Thanks!
Noah

Noah, how did you go with all of it? I have not heard of this three day thing until just now, I am going to Azerbaijan from Georgia in late April this year.
Any info greatly appreciated

Tom

Hi All,

I'm in Tbilisi now. I'm heading to Baku on the 2nd of May and then planning to get the ferry on the 5th to Turkmenbashi. While I didn't plan it to be 3 days, I'll see if I have any issues and let you know.

I'm in Tbilisi right now also. I'm leaving tomorrow for Baku. I'll be taking the boat to Aktau soon after. They don't have a schedule so I might be taking a chance but my AZ visa finishes on the 7th so I can't wait around. Maybe I'll see you in Baku. cheers. Noah
