Russian and Kazakh 2-3 month visas ( cycling ).
Hi everyone, I am prepping for my new long bike ride from Western Europe to Central Asia. Being a slow traveler I need visas for Russia and Kazakhstan that would allow me to stay in each country for at least 2 months. The Russian business visa allows for stays of up to 3 months and is also valid for...

Re: Crossing Tibet entirely on foot (Kyrgyzstan to Kathmandu)
Hats off Benviatte ! Geopolitics are going to make your trek really complicated I am afraid. As far as I know one cannot make it to the Autonomous Region of Tibet without a guide. And you will be easily spotted if you try without one. Most people who have recently tried were caught and kicked out. I...

Re: Russian tourist visa in Tbilisi, Georgia
Hey, I also managed to pick up my 30 day tourist visa at the Tbilisi consulate last week. So I can confirm all of the above. It took a week ( 5 working days ) from the moment they accepted my application. Note that I had to book the full 30 nights in order to get the voucher. I cancelled afterwards....

Re: Iraqi Kurdistan - Turkey border crossing reports
I crossed into Iraqi Kurdistan one week ago using the Beshmakh border crossing ( Marivan to Slemani/Sulaymaniyah ). No major issues. I was given a free one month visa which seems to be the norm. Just had to purchase a compulsory insurance for IQD 5000. Lots of checkpoints everywhere but the soldiers...

Re: Russian tourist visa in Tbilisi, Georgia
Thanks for the info 2on2wheels. Let us know when/if you get it. I will most likely be applying for my Russian visa in Tblissi soon. A few more questions for you so that everything is clear : - Is the " voucher " what you get from the hotel/hostel after you make your booking ? Does that mea...

Applying a 2nd time for Turkmen transit visa ?
Hello there, Looking for first-hand advice here. Just been denied for my Turkmen transit visa ( French passport holder/Paris consulate ). No explanations. I am in Iran. Just wondering if I could make a second attempt here ( say at the Mashhad consulate ) or if this would just be wasting my time ? I ...

Re: Turkmen transit visa in Paris
Hi there,
I just got the answer from the Paris consulate, and it is NEGATIVE.
So I am stuck, as so many other travellers have been.
Wondering whether I could apply one more time here in Iran, whether in Mashhad or Tehran...
Thoughts ?
Levelo.

Iran visa extension in Khorramabad
Ok, I will.
I successfully got a one-month extension in Khorramabad, Lorestan, last fall. An out-of-the-way place too !

Iran visa extension in Birjand
Salaam,
Just wondering if it would be possible to extend my visa in Birjand, eastern Iran ?
It is a provincial capital, isn't it ?

Re: Iran e-visa system
Hello, Yes, it is very confusing... My own experience at the Paris consulate is this : I called them up beforehand and they told me that all I needed was to fill in the e-form on their website ( as said before their pixel requirements for both the picture and passport scans are hard to meet ) and ha...
