The Border Cildir/Aktas-Kartsakhi (Turkey-Georgia) is open again. We've crossed it yesterday. Mostly truck drivers passing that border. So the custom vehicle check on the Turkish side was a bit confused when we arrived and forgot to enter our van into the system, once that was sorted all ok. Georgia...

Hi there,
I've tried to fill the online form. Question: Since we have a campervan (Peugeot Boxer, under 3.5t, 2 seats) should it be declared as a Passenger car or Minivan?

Thank you

Hi there,

Where would be a good place in Kyrgyzstan to send our 2nd passports with visas (from upcoming countries)? We'll travel overland and have our own vehicle.

Thanks and kind regards

Thanks

Thanks Lovetheworld!! Maybe by next year they offer Euro 6 as well

Very interesting question Indeed, the same for whole central Asia. I've travelled through these countries 2 times (2015, 2018) with an Euro6 engine, difficult to know if it was with problem because this kind of problem doesn't occur quickly, and I've always added an additive in Gasoil to prevent pr...

Hi there, We would like to travel to Kazakhstan in 2020 with our Euro 6 Campervan and were wondering how currently the diesel quality is? Our trip goes via Russia where apparently the diesel is fine (in bigger cities/larger gas stations). We've read that the other Stan's will be challenging when it ...

Great thanks to all of you for your very valuable comments. We don't have an exact route yet, more in pre planning stages. Campervan comes first
