If read your site when I was planning my trip so I thought I’d send you a message now that I’m going through these areas. I’m American and got a Kazakhstan visa in Urumqi for 20 dollars, it took 2 days. Kyrgyzstan visa is now free on arrival (not sure how long that’ll last but it’s great!), Tajikistan visa 75 dollars in Bishkek in 5 minutes after giving the very nice lady your paperwork and Uzbek, well, not sure on that one yet. Dropped it off in Almaty, hope to pick it up tomorrow but we’ll see. Thanks for the great site, it’s been a lot of help.
