Visa enquiry
 

Hi

I am planing to ride uk-sydney in august. Have most of the visas sorted , but need to now if its possible to get some on route.

My main concerne is time limits. Has anyone applied for

chinese and pakistani visa in kazakstan or kyrgystan?

Indian visa in pakistan?

Nepalese visa in India?
:helpsmilie:
or do need to get all of them in uk before I leave

I've heard of quite a few people having trouble getting their Pakistani visas outside their own country, one chap famously flew back to the UK from Romania (or was it Turkey?) to get his from the London Pakistani embassy.

One option is to do what I did, apply for a second passport (you can have two British passports), leave one at home to get all stamped up while you're out touring, then have it fedexed on to you.

Indian visa in Pakistan was no problem for all the people I met along the way. I think most people get it from the embassy in Islamabad as it has a 6 month time limit from the day of issue.

Seems people liked to apply for the visa, ride the KKH and then pick the visa up again on the way back through to India. I know of only British and Germans who have done this but I assume it is the same for most westerners! There is always a percentage of risk with these things but here it seems pretty low.

The Nepali visa you get on the border. Easiest visa you will ever get but you can read: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ing-fuel-40635

if you're worried about that one! Good luck with the ride and don't worry too much, seems to all work out in the end!

Oakistan visa was easy in Tashkent in '07... but better t get it at home if poss.

Chinese visas in Central Asia are difficult

Indian visa in Pakistan very easy
