We just got word from The Adventurists regarding our Turkmenistan Invite… Things are looking “iffy” to say the least:
Those of you who applied for Turkmenistan invites via the Visa Machine are still waiting to hear from Turkmenistan as to whether or not you’ll be allowed into the country this year.
The Visa Machine would like you to know that though this is a very long wait, it is not out of the ordinary. However, they are, just as you are, very frustrated to have not had confirmation of your invites by now.
This might mean that you’ll recieve confirmation when you are on the road. This has happened before and not been a problem, but it is important you understand that this might be the case for you this time around.
So that leaves us with three options:
- Wait and hope our Turkmenistan Invite goes through
- Go from Iran to Kazakhstan via the Caspian Sea
- Try and acquire a transit visa for Turkmenistan in Turkey and/or Iran
- Try and acquire a visa for Afghanistan in Turkey and/or Iran
Scary? Yes. Very scary.
