Kazachstan to Mongolia via Altai Mountains, permits?
Hi,
I am planning to enter Mongolia from Kazachstan by driving in to the Altai mountains and taking the western border of Mongolia.
I read in my Lonely Planet from 2009 that I need to send papers to the migration office in Gorno-Altaisk, it says I should register my visa a the Federal Migration Service office, and that I need a document from the visa sponsor (khodataystsvo).
It needs to be faxed.
Also and even worse, I need a submit an application for permission to the Altai Republic border zones. This is some russion document with all kind of information about the route to take, passport details and needs to be faxed 10 days in advance.
Is this still the current situation? I will travel by car from Gorno-Altaisk to the Mongolian western border.
