Declaring all cash in the stans & other Turkmen questions...
We're currently in Turkey and in the next few weeks will be looking to head towards Georgia, Azerbaijan and then the Stans.
I'm just thinking about how much cash (US$) we'll need to be carrying to cover the caspian crossing and the never ending taxes in Turkmenistan and of course our crossing of the country and other than the obvious how much should we carry, 2 questions have come to mind:
1: when declaring our route in Turkmenistan (we're on transit visas) what is the 'shortest' route we can put between Turkmenbashi & Konye-Urgench? We plan to go via Ashgabat.
2: Should we declare all our money at the borders (particularly Turkmen) or keep quiet?
Any light that anyone can shed would be appreciated.
