Hi guys,
I came across this website that has some good visa info.
Turkmenistan visa | Caravanistan
I am starting to think that the easiest was to do Turkmenistan is a transit visa which looks like 3-5 days depending on who issues it!.
It does mean you have very strict time constraints but a tourist visa runs at $130+ US a day.
I know most of you will be leaving western Europe late April/early May. For anyone else reading this thread I will be leaving the UK around 13/14/15 May, 2014 and need to be back by late July - about 10 weeks total.
I am flexible as to route through Europe (just find some nice roads!) then Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia out to Irkutsk (maybe go around Lake Baikal), down into Mongolia and if time permits head out towards Vladivostok.
If I make Vladivostok I will most likely ship the bike back in a container which some other guys will have there already or alternatively get the Trans Siberian back to Moscow.
Let me know if you have any similar plans.
Cheers,
Tom.
