The Stans South to North
Ok I have been doing my homework and asking alot of questions to companies regarding Vias's for this area and I am non the wiser about it all and hoping somebody has done it and knows the ins and outs.
My route is as follows, Tehran I will visit then to Turkmenistan, try for transit visa to Uzbek, then Tadjikistan for the Pamir highway and yes I know I need the special permission for this route, then onto Kygikstan and Kazakstan, russia so on to Mongolia. Answers I am looking for are do I need all these letters of invitation the tour companies say I need, where can I get which visa for what country, ie, Turkmen in Tehran, can I get Uzbek there as well???
Sounds like the dollars will come out of my poket quite fast getting all these visas!! But if so so be it. So if anybody has done this route and give me an idea of where to get what would be very much appreciated.
I am in Djibouti at the moment waiting for a visa for Yemen then need to find a boat, big word of advise anybody doing this route Djibouti to Yemen, GET your Yemeni visa in Addis no matter what the cost!!!! We live and learn, sometimes the hard way.
