Korday border crossing reports (Almaty-Bishkek)
Crossed the border 3 days ago and it went smooth as always. What is worth mentioning is that there was a Polish guy in front of me who talked his way into the country without a visa.

Re: Change dates on Tajik and Uzbek visas?
I asked the embassy in Almaty, they said it's not possible to change the dates.

Re: How hitchhike friendly is karalpakstan?

How hitchhike friendly is Karakalpakstan?
Hey everyone, My uzbek visa will expire on the 25th of july. And I'd like to cross the Kazakhstan border that day and continue my journey to Aktau. I'm always hitchhiking, so date specific things are not my favourite things. Is there lots of trafic between Kungirot (UZ) And Beyneu (KZ) ? It looks li...

Re: Turkmenistan transit visa in Bishkek
