Hi guys, next august i'll be in tashkent with my bike to visit Pamir and Kyrgyzstan. I've called 3 agencies and the Kyrgyz embassy in Switzerland and still i don't know if i need visas to enter kgz
The embassy says that we don't need it, 2 agencies says that i don't need it if i fly there by plane but i need if i enter by land with the bike, the third agency says that i don't need anything
Please, someone can tell me who i must trust?

Kyrgyzstan is really easy on visas...and at the border expect some chaos, but not much in the way of paperwork. The 60 day no visa is in effect, and is working well as long as you don't overstay it.
