Hi,
Timatic is an official service provided by IATA. All the airlines companies use it for boarding. It's official and very useful.

I know that the link above is a Star Alliance link but it's the manner to use it. In the past, I used it on the site of …Kenya Airways but since few years I use the link above.
You can also check with the site of the Tajik embassy (Brussels for example). They provide reliable informations.

This morning I was on the Tajik embassy site in Brussels (http://www.tajikembassy.be) and you see directly that Brussels treats also the Dutch visas. Contact them by phone or email to have more information.

Hi,
This morning, I pick up my visa (and the GBAO permit) at the Tajik embassy in Brussels.
Easy, without any stress. 65€ for one month (single entry) and 20€ for the GBAO permit. One week delay (but I'm working in Brussels and I don't care)
As mentioned on the internet site of the embassy, you need (for the tourist visa) a visa request letter, your passport plus a copy of the first page with your photo and informations, the visa application form (2 pages), and the original receipt of the banking payment.

hi Michel,
I am Belgian as well and next year planning to visit Uzbekistan, Kirgizie, Tajikistan, China. Time isnt an issue since we have some months. Just dont know which month to leave since i dont really know about the climate in those countrys.
I have seen in your profile that you travelled to those countrys and i hope to hear more of you.

Hi,
I'm coming back from Tajikistan since a little more than a week.
It was my third travel in Central Asia but, each time, I travelled in only one country. I never crossed (overland) any borders in this part of the world.
In my point of view, it will be more easy to travel from May-June but you will be there during the summer time and it will be very hot for some parts of your trip. It will be the same if your are travelling latter.
I suppose you will stay "one month" in all the countries of Central Asia (and more in China)
Michel
Hi Michel,
Indeed we will more or less stay one month in each country or depending on visa's - when needed and when possible more. We like to take our time - since we have time.
I was thinking to start mid-april or beginning of may in Uzbekistan (we would fly to Uzbekistan) and then Tajikistan and Kirgizie.
Which part of Tajikistan did you travel now??
Greetings Ellen
Good morning,
In Tajikistan, I was in the Fan Mountains (Sarytag, Iskander Kul and the seven lakes), Penjikent and around, the Ferghana, Dushanbe and for the Pamir: Khorog, Ishkashim and the first part of the Wakhan valley.
Next time, I will reach Osh.
Michel
hi michel,
would you say that may-june is a good time to visit the fan mountains and pamir region?? Whats the weather like that time of the year??
we dont know if we would leave for oezbekistan in april or in may.
Route: uzbekistan - tajikistan - kirgizie - china
Hi,
Except if you want to hike higher in the mountains and cross passes, you can visit Pamir and/or Fan Mountains during May and June. There is no problem on the roads and you can move around without any difficulties.
In fact, it's impossible for me to have one month vacation during July and Augustus and it's the reason I choose May-June (9th of May to 6th of June)
The weather is good but it's cooler at night the more higher you are.
As indicated, next time, I will go to Osh and I will focus only on the Pamir. It was not case this time.
Michel
