- In this episode i'm gonna tell you everything you need to know about visa and border crossing of Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, India and Nepal.
Here you can find additional informations and all the google maps locations of the most important places where you have to go:
TURKEY
For European citizens (or at least for Italians…) an ID card is enough to enter, but if you are carrying with you a passport i suggest to use it because, otherwise, you’ll get a tiny little piece of paper with the entrance stamp, which you are most likely going to lose before you leave Turkey.
No need for Carnet de Passage.
You do need vehicle insurance. Some European companies already cover Turkey.
GEORGIA
You can buy the compulsory insurance for your vehicle directly at the border, in a container on the left. It’s easy, cheap and straightforward.
No need for Carnet de Passage.
ARMENIA
Unlike Georgia, do NOT buy any insurance at the border or you will get fooled by a factor of 10x. Use the official website: aswa.am/
No need for Carnet de Passage, but you’ll get a Temporary Import Permit, in the form of a simple page paper, which you’ll have to carry with you till you get out.
IRAQ (KURDISTAN)
Visa on arrival, directly at the border. No need for online application. Pretty long overal process.
Cost: around 75$. Must pay cash. You can change money at the little market nearby the immigration office, at a fairly bad rate but better than nothing.
No vehicle insurance needed.
No need for a Carnet de Passage, but they will check the bike in every part (frame number, engine number, color etc) and fill in some documents that you’ll have to return when you get out.
IRAN
Official website for Visa application: evisa.mfa.ir/en/
Agency to contact in case official application doesn’t work (around 30$ agency fee): en.key2persia.com/home
Cost of visa: 50$ on line + 75$ once you go to collect it at the consulate.
Location of the consulate in Erzurum: goo.gl/maps/MAKzafCEaL92jqZq9
Contact Hamid, aka “the king of the Taftan border”, which will provide you with free accommodation nearby Zahedan and will take care of all the paperwork during the border crossing. He also runs a whatsapp group where you can ask any question during and before you stay in Iran and pakistan.
Coordinates of his place where to sleep: goo.gl/maps/5EKZTpZuhpMRkzGT7
Hamid’s phone number: +98 939 371 8973
You do need a Carnet de Passage.
No vehicle insurance needed.

Coordinates of Hussein home goo.gl/maps/p92ZG1R5Ecb551zh6
You do need a Carnet de Passage.
No vehicle insurance needed.
Important: before crossing the border from Iran, or starting the crossing of Balochistan to reach Iran (Taftan), carry with you enough water, some food and a lot of patience. Be sure to check for any public holiday or any other possible reason why you might get stuck in Quetta waiting for the N.O.C..

Thank you. Keep these kind of videos coming. I plan to pack it all in and leave for a lifetime trip soon, accepting that I may not come back alive and if I do, I won't be the same.

Fede, you are such a great guy for taking the time to inform us of your experiences in these border crossings, this information is invaluable to me and others who will undertake similar journeys!
Wishing you safe and interesting travels brother!
Cheers!
Thanks man 💚
You cannot imagine how much time I had to spend looking for all those informations when I needed, so I really felt it was a good idea not to waste that effort but to share it with others, trying to make at least other's life easier.
It's such a shame wasting time on paperwork instead of on travelling...
@@ZeroHighWays you've helped me alot mate! Really appreciate your time and effort sharing this info! It's hard to find here in Central Australia! I hope to ride from Nepal to Europe next year (plans well advanced)
Cheers!
I am so happy that I found you! Im a full time van lifer and my dream is to go to Nepal from Europe. You provide such useful information. I’ll go through everything you’ve posted and all the comments before starting asking questions. Namasté 🙏🏻
I'm glad i've been helpful!
Just double check no rule has changed during these two years, you never know
Thank you do much for this!!!! Excellent video!

This is incredible! Undoubtedly the toughest part of the world to deal with all this stuff…thanks so much for taking the time to do this and share with us. Extremely thoughtful and detailed. Gracie!!
Glad it has been helpful 🙏
Thanks Fred ,,Most informative.
💚
Great video, Thank you for all the explications
💚
Great video.very useful.well done
Thanks 💚
Very accurate description of how burocracy can stand on the way of adventure travel, bravo. And this, unfortunately, applies also here in Italy from the moment in which you start looking into the procedure to get a "carnet de passage" from the Italian ACI. Its a good idea to create awarness in these subjects. Thanks and safe journey back home.
Thanks man 💚
Honestly, once you know how to do it, the carnet is a (expensive) piece of cake
This was very informative
Thanks 💚
Commento prima di vederlo: capiti proprio a fagiolo, mi sto organizzando per run viaggio verso il Nepal e spero che questo video sia di aiuto 💪
Lo spero!
Truly appreciate for all the necessary information that you are sharing.. Take care, greetings from Sydney, Australia...
Glad to be helpful man 💚
Just double check if with an Australian passport you might be required to follow slightly different rules
Grazie, informazioni utili ed aggiornate!
💚
Mille Grazie! Super helpful video and links and you really make the preparation for these border crossings so much easier for many others. I saved this video for my trip and subscribed!
Glad to be helpful 💚
Thanks a lot for your work and for sharing your Experience, I will start at the 1st of April for a similiar Trip and this is verry helpfull.
Thanks man, i'm really happy to share my knowledge and to be helpful to other overlanders 🤟
Excellent video Federico and thank you for the valuable information!!! The sort of information you have provided is so valuable for new overlanders and I thank you! Your videos have been addictive and give great insights on the road ahead for me! Well done and keep up the brilliant work! Safe travels!
Thanks Justin, glad of being helpful 🙂

Soy español nómada, actualmente en Georgia, en marzo entraré a Irán con mi furgoneta y mi perro, tu vídeo me ha dado mucha información muy interesante, muchas gracias.
I'm happy for that.
Enjoy your trip 💚
Thanks you for this price less information
🤟💚
Merci Federico pour toutes ces informations utiles.
de rien ✌
Sei un mito
Grazie mille per le informazioni
😊💚
Thank you for doing this video, especially for the detailed description. I am busy riding from Lisboa to Hanoi and your video has relieved a lot of my anxiety about the Iran / Pakistan/ India/ Nepal. I owe you a beer!
Thanks man, super glad it has been helpful 🤟
Thanks for this brilliant video. Damn this helps alot for my trip. Fantastic! Thanks for the info!:)
Thanks man 💚
If you need other info feel free to ask
@@ZeroHighWays I will def ask for some info. Thanks again.
@@noobsonwheelsadventures8315 you're welcome
Thanks for doing the leg work and sharing your knowledge.
I currently live in southern India and am looking at the possibility of driving my motorcycle back to Europe next summer, so this is very helpful!
Hi Thomas, glad of being helpful. Just double check your visa requirements if you have indian passport or another non EU citizenship/residency, especially for the border between Pakistan and India.
Well done bro 👏
💚
Muito bom a tua ajuda aos novos viajantes 👍✌️
Glad to be helpful 💚
Nice video
Thanks
ciò mi insegna che non andrò mai in quelle zone, altrimenti interiora e sangue a fiotti scorrerebbero gratuitamente soprattutto dopo richieste tangentistiche 🤬, Ottimo ed uilissimo tutorial anagraficeno per viaggiatori fuori-balconistici come te 😄, della serie:
"XII circoscrizione roma levatepopio"
😁
La richiesta di soldi era l'ultimo dei problemi lì 😅
Graziee
💚
Excelente partilha!! Boas curvas✌👍
💚
Per l'Iran a me hanno sempre chiesto anche una assicurazione sanitaria. Bellissimo video
Non me l'hanno chiesta a nessuna frontiera, quindi ho evitato di parlarne non avendo riferimenti precisi. A parte che poi secondo me viaggiare senza è un rischio che non ha senso correre a prescindere
Great video.. easy to follow and just the facts.. thank you. One question. What’s the process of getting a carnet de passage for Iran?
Thanks 💚
The carnet is the same for every country which requires it. But the process to get it is different depending on the country of issuing, that's why I didn't get into details.
An excellent video with a detailed explanation of the documentation needed to travel. It happened to be something I asked myself several times when watching your videos "what documentation is necessary to make a trip like this", now I have the answer😉. Since you showed us a video of the luggage you carry and the necessary documentation, how about a video with the expenses that we will have to count if we take a trip like this😉. Keep safe and smiling!
did you spy on my PC? 🤓
coming soon 😎
@@ZeroHighWays don´t worry i didn´t🤣🤣
@@morpedro 😁
'nzomma, na bella trafila, una passeggiata di salute..... 😁😁😁😁
Niente male 😅
Poi mi dicono che sono calmo... Te credo, dopo che hai a che fare ogni mese con questa burocrazia assurda cosa vuoi che sia uno sterrato con lo strapiombo sotto o un guado 😁
Grande Federico come sempre . Ti chiedo ancora un ultimo sforzo quello di darci delle guide sulla cartografia e strumenti che utilizzi soprattutto per i percorsi in fuori strada che spesso vedo assolutamente impervi e quasi impossibili da trovare. Grazie mille continua così sei grande.
Ciao Angelo, ti assicuro che in Pakistan, in India e in Nepal non c'è bisogno di cercare niente, sono loro che vengono a trovare te 😁. Quelle che avete visto finora e che vedrete nei prossimi video sono per lo più strade principali, anche se può sembrare difficile da credere, non sentieri che mi vado a cercare sulle mappe.
Questo tema lo vedo meglio come argomento di una prossima live più che di un video, perché non esistono regole generali da poter dare, mentre può sicuramente essere interessante fare degli esempi pratici durante una live. Che ne pensi?
Ciao Federico mi pare una buona idea anche perchè spesso trovare delle tracce fuori strada non sempre è agevole . A presto dunque e buona strada
Bel video. Spero di "usarlo" al più presto. Ma questo carnet de passage..... è difficile. ?
Grazie. No se sai come muoverti. Devi contattare l'aci, che ti dira quello che devi fare, e trovare chi ti fa la polizza fideiussoria
Ciao Federico in che nazione sei e la Benellona a quanti km e arrivata👋
Ciao Aldo, sono rientrato in Spagna da pochi giorni spedendo la moto in aereo. Sono a circa 75.000km
Ah man excellent information, can I ask 2 questions? I am planning to ride from Europe to South India, can I ask a stupid question? If I have a visa for Iran and Pakistan for let's say 14 days each and you use only 5 days can you use the remaining days on the return trip?
Question 2 does anyone know how I transport my motorcycle from South India rather than driving back through Pakistan and Iran into Europe? At a reasonable cost
Thanks man.
1. No, unless you get a multi entry visa (not common) you can use it only one time regardless how many days left you have.
2. You can for sure do that, but I don't know personally companies that ship from india (i shipped from nepal)
Did you need CDP for India? Thanks, best regards!
Yep
To get into Pakistan with Car or Bike , do you need a Pakistani Sticker Visa or e Visa ?
The procedure is on line, you don't get a sticker on the passport. You have two choices, one called "visa in your box" (the one i did), the other one is the traditional one but I honestly don't know 100% how it works because i did the other one
Did u get your luggage checked or scanned?
Yep, scanned twice, checked more often
How mush CDP (carnet de passage)?
There is not "a cost", it depends on you bike age, bike cost, and country of issuing.
I am planning to take a trip from Oman to France with my Royal Enfield Himalayan.
I have the bike registered as a 1000cc motorcycle under my name with the help of a police officer friend.
The reason i did this is because expats in oman can only register motorcycle above or 1000cc.
I want to know if this will cause a problem at the border customs of Iran, Turkey, Greece Borders. Bothcarnet and local registration say it is 1000cc.
Please do help me in this regard.

My friend, i'm just a traveller sharing my experience and knowledge with other overlanders, i'm not a customs employee to whom asking reliable infos on such a particular case. I'm sorry but i cannot help you
Ben fatto Gigante
Non sono stata veloce io a leggere, non parlo inglese
O di patente di guida non parli?
Serve una patente internazionale dopo l'Armenia?
Grazie
Sabrina
Ciao Sabrina, nodi patenti non ho parlato, perché sono informazioni che si trovano facilmente in rete.
In sostanza, se si vuole viaggiare fuori Europa è sempre meglio averle. Averle, al plurale, perché ne esistono 2 che valgono in diversi paesi, e secondo me non conviene neppure stare a impazzire a capire dove serva quale, meglio farle subito entrambe. Almeno in caso di cambio di programma in corsa non si rischia di dover abbandonare un "piano B" per un banale documento che costa poche decine di euro.
Yes
Sabrina, se mi posso permettere... ci sono i sottotitoli in italiano! 😁 Anche io facevo fatica a stare appresso a quel bellimbusto che parla un inglese fluente come la sua chioma (il mio è rigorosamente scolastico e da "America' facce tarzan!"), poi ho scoperto che andando in impostazioni e sottotitoli potevo tranquillamente, a scapito di qualche immagine, leggere cio' che diceva Federico. (mi fermavo al "Buongiorno") 😉

How to get Carnet?
In each country the procedure is a bit different, so I didn't get into details which would have been useful only for Italians.
As a general rule you have to contact your Automobile club, ask for the value of your motorbike and with that number you start asking to banks and insurance companies for the deposit.
Once you have done with the deposit you come back to the automobile club, you give all the documents required, you pay and you wait for the paperwork been done. In Italy it might take up to 1 month (15 days in my case), no idea if in other countries it's faster or the same
Grazie mille per le informazioni, preciso e chiaro. Anche io sono italiano, quindi dal punto di vista visti sono tranquillo. Invece la mia moto é Brasiliana, ma come? Mi dirai… é che vivo in Brasile da 20 anni ormai. Quindi mi sorge il dubbio? Ma il benedetto CDP? Dove lo faccio??? Ho sempre in mente di un giorno mandare la mia moto in Europa e da lì andare verso la Mongolia e poi si vedrà… ma ho il dubbio del CDP, mi serve non mi serve… e é un punto un pó misterioso… per adesso mi limito a viaggiare in Sud America… ma il sogno rimane in mente e questo video mi fa ricordare la questione… Saluti Daniele.
Ciao, prova a sentire l'Aci, so che molti fanno il CdP in un paese diverso dal loro perché gli costa meno o perché hanno la possibilità di estenderlo più facilmente. Ad esempio in Svizzera o Germania. Quindi non è detto che tu debba farlo nel paese in cui sei residente
@@ZeroHighWays sapevo che molti viaggiatori sono stati respinti in India perche' il CDP che richiedono in india deve essere quello degli accordi del 69 oppure qualcosa del genere. Mai sentito qualcosa del genere? Qualcuno ha fatto il CDP in Svizzera, veloci e precisi
@@Teneroad forse ti confondi con le patenti internazionali
BOA TARDE SOU BRASILEIRO E ESTOU PROGRAMANDO UMA VIAGEM ,PELA AFRICA, ASIA,EUROPA , AQUI NO BRASIL NÃO TEM COMO FAZER A (CARNET DE PASSAGE) CONSIGO FAZER TIPO EM PORTUGAL OU NA AFRICA DO SUL
Yes, I know some other overlander doing the CdP in a different country than their home/residency country
