Advice needed - what paper work do I need?
Hi,
So Im riding my bike to Vladivostok from UK starting April this year, I am going via Turkey, georgia into Russia into Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, kyrgyzstan, Back into Kaz, into Russia then into Mongolia and back into Russia for the final leg to Vladivostok.
SO..... I know that of course I need visas. And I will be getting my multiple entry business visa for Russia. But Im worried Ill turn up to my borders without the right paperwork!
I will have my V5 with me, European Insurance, (apparently I can buy insurance for the bike in petrol stations before Russian boarder and I asume this is the case for the other countries). My MOT certificate il be renewing before I go. But what else do I need to bring with me for the boarders? Is there a visa I need for the bike or something?
Also I see British citizens dont need a Visa for Kazakhstan. lasts for 15 days. This should be more than enough time to get me to Uzbekistan. but when I leave Kyrgyzstan il be entering Kazakhstan again, so what is the interval time to restart a fresh 15 days again when entering? Or do I need a multi entry Kazakhstan visa?
What else do I need?
Cheers, Ian

Hi TenereFletch,
I did a similar tour in 2015 ... so I try to answer your questions.

The V5 has to be in your name. I did not buy any insurance in Russia, China or Central Asia and I was never asked. Get your European Insurance company to issue you a Green Card, because they could ask for it in Turkey (as it should be still valid in Turkey), but I was never asked for the Green Card.

Nothing else. V5, Insurance Green Card, Passport ... and maybe a visa depending on the country.

I only entered Kazahkhstan once on my journey, but I would say you have 15 days everytime you enter. Please confirm this with somebody else, as I am not sure about this.
Time.
From the countries you listed, Uzbekistan entry was the worst for me. Four to five hours a lot of shouting and arguments. At Tajikistan border the police tried to get some money out of me, but they gave up easy and I did not pay.
Enjoy your journey.
