Uzbekistan visa

[nivadoo]

Hi,
i hope next year i will ride to Tadjikistan from Europe . And there are many countries in the way that need visas . So, does enybody know is it possible to get transit visa for Usbekistan without LOI. I dont want to explore Usbekistan i just want to drive the shortest road to enter Tajikistan it is around 300km.
The same question for Turkmenistan.

thanks

hi,
for visas it depends which country you are from ! for example i'm french and i can have a transit visa for both countries you speak about ! the best way, is to check with embassies in your home town country !

For most nationalities there's a list on Wikipedia showing the visa requirements of all other countries for the according nationality. Like for example for Paraguay:

Warning, these pages are a bit misleading as many countries marked "visa on arrival" allow this only when arriving through an airport, not a land border (e.g. Ethiopia). As we're on a forum for overlanders, I think this is a crucial reminder.

Today there was the news, that visa for some countries are nit necessary anymore for Usbekistan.

Like Austria, Swiss, Germany, and 12 other countries.

Only a fee of 50 Dollar has to be paid when entering.

That comes perfect as I am going to Usbekistan from Iran ( via Turkmenistan ) this year...

The decree also states that citizens aged 55 or over from the United States, Belgium, France, Poland, Hungary, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Israel can enter Uzbekistan without a visa for up to 30 days for tourism purposes.

Pity that the list isn't longer.
