Sorry but don't understand what your question is.
Anyway, visa for Uzbekistan and Tadjikistan are no problem at all.

I take it your will be going via Turkey then as you head to Iran?
If so Tajik embassy in Istanbul same day services.
You will need 2 photos for each applicant along with a letter stating your request to visit Tajikistan. You can get the photos at a shop which is about 500 meters from the embassy
As you step out the embassy turn right then take your next left down to a main road and turn right, about 100-150 meters on your left across the other side of the road is a wedding photo shop who do photos there
As for the letter i hand write one in the embassy no problems
Don't forget to ask for a GBAO Pamir permit also as this is a separate stamp

It is possible to get a Tajikistan visa in Tashkent (north of Samarkand) no problem, there is a nice little hostel there
Gulnara Guesthouse
We got our visas in Tashkent and then got our GBAO permits in Dushanbe on the way (2014)
Good luck!

Cant remember the exact cost sorry, don't remember it being much
The visa was done overnight which gave enough time to chill out and enjoy what the city has to offer
The GBAO permit in Dushanbe was very cheap as we used the 'bank trick'
how get your gbao permit cheap
Again this was done overnight, we stayed in a cheap little hostel, facilities not amazing but had internet, a kitchen to cook and was a hot spot for other travelers

Adventurer's Inn Dushanbe

If the Adventurers inn is the 4 room guest house located on the back roads with double gates and a garage for bikes then it closed around 2 months ago, the main owner decided it was time to sell so the main guy who ran it called Ruslan has brought another building near the airport which he is planning to turn into a guest house. he said he thinks it will be sold and used as a house so the next owners will not be running it as a guest house ...... shame it was a pretty cool place i stayed there quit a few times
It seems common on this forum that people get there tajik visa in Ubek but Pamir in Dushanbe, why is this Jamie do they not issues Pamir visa's at the Tashkent office or did you forget to ask for the Pamir permit ?
The process in Istanbul was very simple and took less than 30 minutes after i got the photos for both parts of this visa, it was actually the easiest and quickest visa process i ever had and the building was more of a large home than an embassy
Well that's two choices for you now christian but if you do get your tajik visa in Tashkent and pamir permit in Dushanbe but are still passing Turkey on route and have never been to Istanbul before i would say its worth visiting still....... its pretty good for a city

They wouldn't issue our Pamir permit at Tashkent unfortunately. Shame to hear about the Adventurer's Inn, we met some great people there!
Id also second what Wesley says, Istanbul is a great city!

Thanks Jamie and Wesley.
Unfortunately, Istanbul is not on my way (and I've already visited it several times) but Ankara is. So do you know it'also easy to get this visa in Ankara?

here is the answer today Consulate in Istanbul
If you pass though Istanbul, we can issue you a tourist visa here in about thirty minutes. You will need to bring two photos, fill an application form and pay $50. Regarding your vehicle, we don't know the procedure for crossing the border with your car. And about GBAO, permission for that is issued only at the MFA of TJ in Dushanbe, TJ. No consulates or embassies issue it.

Well lets hope not as what about people who enter via Kyrgyzstan and enter the GBAO (Pamir) first via the Pamir highway, if the tajik consulate in Istanbul is stating that now you can only get a GBAO permit in Dushanbe and not at no other consulates or embassies now then this will mean people can only enter the GBAO region via West Tajikistan............????
Maybe this has something to do with the Pamir being closed last year for a few weeks as some consulates or embassies would issue this permit and some would not so maybe they have put this GBAO permit solely under the control of Dushanbe....?
Would be good for someone to confirm this before everyone starts heading out this way later this year

I don't think Istanbul is speaking for all embassies, there are embassies, that never issued GBAO and embassies, that have the GBAO on the website. Even if you would have to enter the Pamir without the GBAO over Kyzyl Art, I think you would get through and ask in Khorog or Murghab about it.
