Border Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan
 

Hi, I'm planning a trip in central Asia and looking for info about border Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan: is possible take visa for Kyrgyzstan and fuel on M41 road or at border? And info roe transit visa of Turkmenistan, is possible to take it in Turkey or Armenia or Iran? Thanks a lot!!!!!

Where are you from? Normally (but not always) you don't need a visa for Kyrgyzstan.
Fuel: m41 Sary-Tash in Kyrg. 25km after border.
Turkmenistan: apply in home country, pick up on the road is the safest way i'd say.. i pi ked it up in Tehran, pretty easy (not like Armenia where the embassy is like hell)

For up-to-date information on borders, visas, road conditions, check this great website:

Caravanistan | The Silk Road Travel Guide

There is even a forum where there is very up to date info.

Thanks a lot for info!!! Antonio, I'm from Milan, Italy! But I've notice about the Embassy in Ankara for Turkmenistan visa, have you experience about?

Hi Tiger, when do you start from France? May be we meet on the road!! I'll start at the end of march! Tres Jolie ton website :) Il y a beaucoup de belles photo!!!!

Do you know if to keep Turkmenistan transit visa in iranian or turkish Embassy, I need also an invitation letter?

Hello , we start from france at 10 of may .
Yes if it s possible i hope that we can meet on the road. .
I would like to take a visa for Turkmenistan in turkey or iran also . Normaly we can have a letter from consulate turkmène in french . Other french biker cross this border only witn a invitation letter and they made visa at border with 150 euros :-(

You do not need an invitation letter fora transit visa. Only for a tourist visa.

Some embassies will apply for the visa for you and send you a visa authorisation. You don't need to send them your passport (just copies) and you don;t have to pay anything. You print this off and get your visa at the border.

I did this in June 2014 - arrived at the remote border crossing between Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan with this authorisation which I was sent by the London Embassy, and paid US$35 for the visa.

Hi Tiger, I'll start my trip on 01 april, but I dont know how many time the weather will take me to arrive after Iran!! Thanks Eurasiaoverland!!! Very important info!!!!

Ciao Scalpo,
I'm from Milan too:-)

As for the info you asked for:
-Kyrgyzstan visa: you don't need it
-Fuel on M41 is not a problem: you only need to ask in villages
-Turkmenistan visa: many different options, but not that easy, it depends how much time you do have.

Wich bike are you using for this trip?
Where do you live in Milan?
