Transit visa for Turkmenistan
Has anyone applied for a visa for Turkmenistan recently?
I will be travelling across Turkmen in mid June and need a transit visa but am having trouble getting a consulate to reply to my emails regarding fees etc.
I have emailed the London, Berlin and Frankfurt consulates and heard nothing.
Can anyone suggest the best consulate to apply to?

I got mine in Germany
After obtaining the visas for Iran and Uzbekistan, filling the forms and writing the application letter, it worked out. I could phone the embassy and got apopriate answers. They also did it in the expected time.

Price transit visa Turkmenistan
Hallo all,
In may 2019 I'll go to the Pamirs with a friend. Up till now everything OK, even the Carnet via the ADAC for a French motorcycle. But now we are trying to get all the information for the visa and Turmenistan might becoming a puzzle. A relation of us who is travelling for business regularly informed us as follows: 'today just got know that official price for transit visa to Turkmenistan per person cost 1.500 $ (!!!!!!). I know that is crazy, but it is reality' .
Who has been recently in Turmenistan, and does he/she has the same experience?
When the price stays like this it seems to be that they don't want to get anymore visitors in their country.
Alternative ways to go from Iran to Tajikistan?
Have a nice day, and curious for your answers!

If the information you have turns out to be true (which I frankly doubt; remember that transit visas are principally used by Turkish and Iranian truck drivers delivering goods to Central Asia), there are two simple alternatives:
1) Drive from Georgia or Azerbaijan through Russia to Kazakhstan.
2) Take a ferry from Azerbaijan to Kazakhstan.
You could theoretically go through Afghanistan but in reality, there is no way across the country which is even remotely safe. In 2009 I drove across Afghanistan, but even then (when the NW of the country was safer), I had to divert briefly through Turkmenistan between Andkhoy and Herat.
