Iran w/o Carnet - possible!
 

Hello all,

entered Iran without the Carnet. Well, it's a "local alternative" for it. Costed 250USD for us to issue it with the help of one Turkish guy in Dogubeyazit and ... NO DAMNED DEPOSIT! (Note issing the official Carnet is 265USD plus this outrageous 3000EURos of deposit) without his help i think it'd be almost impossible - some special contacts in Iran and some Iran's company guarantee there is needed for document, but the guys organized all - just sit and wait for about 3-5 hours on the border, give few signatures and "Well come to Iran" greets you http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif. If anyone wants his contacts - e-mail me!

Cheers, Margus

what happens when you hit pakistan and india i and i am sure a lot of others would be very keen to see your results when you hit these borders

It is nice to hear from you Margus. Hope you and your bike is OK. Keep writing your experiences.

Good Luck

What i've HEARD from Travellers the Pakistan is absolutely impossible withouth the "real" Carnet de Passage, at least coming from Iran.

But as people say also Iran is impossible without it but still it's possible, so i can't say anything conclusive. Though, better not to try it without the Carnet i think if youre already going so far... http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif
