Turkmen transit visa refused
My friend put the papers for the transit visa in Teheran (one week ago) and he went to get the visa from Mashad, but he was denied, with no explanation.
He doesn't have an Azer visa and his situation is a little complicated because his Russian visa is only for 2 entries, and now he has to go via Russia and Kazakhstan to arrive in Uzbekistan and further.
Does anyone know if he can get another Russian visa on the road? (maybe in Almaty)

As far as I know it is only possible to get the visa for Russia in the country you live.
That is why everyone says to get a russian multy entry business visa in case something happens on the road.
He might have saved a hundred bucks on the russian visa.
And now?
And it is also not possible to have 2 visas for russia at the same time in the passport....

I think this depends on your nationality. As a US citizen, I've obtained many Russian visas without going to the US.
But it is correct that you cannot have two Russian visas in your passport--you can apply for a new visa, in which case your current visa would be cancelled. I don't know if they have any policies about issuing multi-entry visas when you already have a valid and unused two entry visa.

Thanks for infos about Russian visa.
If I understand well, I can ask in a Russian consulate to cancel my visa and to get a new one?
Because if I'm denied in Teh (for my Turkm visa), I have to change the dates of my Russian visa to go back to Georgia, the Russia and Kaz.
Please let me know if it is possible....

A few years ago i canceled my Kazak visa to change dates and they were fine with it and just canceled it and put a new one in, should be fine if you state this
I think your main problem is getting a Russian visa while you are out your own country. Try contacting visa agents back in your own country and arrange posting your passport to get the visa as this is what a few have did who have been in your situation.
However i think one guy did post on here that he got a Russian visa on his travels but this is rare. Maybe take aday out of your trip phoning embassy's you plan to get this visa from on route so you know yourself as i would not bet on just showing up hoping you get it

Sorry, but I can't tell you with any certainty. In the past I've had a valid Russian visa cancelled when I received a new one, so I suspect its possible, but things are different with different nationalities and different embassies, and the fact that your visa hasn't been used yet could also be a factor.
