Iran-Pakistan-India

[muzz]

Hi, I couldn't find any recent news on this road crossing which I intend to do next summer. Is it still do-able despite the recent tensions etc? British PP and bike etc......

Kind regards

If you can get the Pakistan and Iran visas then no problem, but there are reports here on HUBB about the Iranians sometimes refusing them now and the Pakistanis demand the notorious 'letter of non-objection' from your embassy, routinely refused by some embassies now. Both are best obtained at home, perhaps it's time to get a second passport just for the purpose, as the visas are only valid for 3 months from date of issue.

Thanks Beddhist, yes I was intending to get the visa's back in the UK. What do you mean though about the second passport and the letter of non-objection????

Thanks

Hi

The second passport that beddhist is talking about is obtaining a second UK passport but I can't see how this would benifit you as you won't be able to swap passports between neighbouring countries for obvious reasons - we never needed to use our 2nd passport in the end.

Letter of no objection from your embassy is basically a letter from the british embassy that says they are aware of your trip, itinery etc and have no objection to you travelling in that particular country - wether or not they would provide one is another matter but you should try and apply without one first. The pakistan embassy in london was incredibly helpful with supply all visas.

Good Luck

The traffic between india-pak is still allowed. Not sure how long will that continue

Guys, the letter.o.n.o. which goverment agency do I need to approach for this as a UK citizen ? Off that way later in the year and thought it might be a good idea to sound them out before we apply for visas for Iran, Pakistan and India, the other worry is that we are going to travel round India for 4 months ( can we just keep renewing our visas during this period ? ) and then travel back though the same countries on the way back to the UK so will need new visas for the return journey and will obviously have to apply for them in the previous country, do you see this as and issue ?

Cheers
