Caravanistan

Thanks a lot for these infos and for the letter as well! It sounds a good idea, I think. Can you tell me where did you applied for your visas: In Teheran? And if so, how long you're waiting for picking-up your visas? RR. It is 7days (not working days) after you applieds... in teheran and pick up in...

Infos on chinese visa in teheran... We heard this story from many people who succeded to get theyr visa with 3 months to enter by insisting 2 or 3 times and so finally we tried today. And it worked, the woman told me that we would get 3 months to enter. So you have probably to try until you meet the...

We also got our visas today in Teheran... I don't know if the fact that we took it from there helped... We were three to get it today, french, belgium and german.... I just put the letter that we wrote, if it can help some people ( the english is bad I think, don't hesitate to correct it) But anyway...

Small infos We went yesterday at the turkmen embassy : - First, don't spend too much time filling the form which is available on caravanistan, they give you an other one there, a bit different, and you have to start again filling it. - When we tried to ask about this problem of people being refused,...

ok, and did you find a good compagny for the bicycle? 220 euros was the price with the bicycle? Did you find a good travel agencie?

In order to change you plan if it is rejected and save some time....
Thanks

Ok, we are going to apply tomorrow morning and we will try to ask as much questions as possible. If you have some ;) We though that we will maybe put in the personnal letter that we want to take the bus to the capitale and the train to turkmenabad, in case if it is the bicycle think that is annoying...

Sorry, our questions come one by one because we make research... Is it possible to ask to a travel agencie to ask the visa? Maybe they will have more chance to get it?
Or would it be better if we ask for LOI even if it is not needed?
We really don t know what to do...
Thanks

Other question
Do somebody think that we would have more chance if we pick up the visa in teheran instead of mashad?
Thanks

SH.... we already have been refused the chinese to be in time there, and we had to apply tomorrow morning for the turkmen... we already have the ouzbek and the tadjik... I suppose there are no other solutions than plane in this case? And do you know if all the belgium and french are refused now? Bec...
