After the mixed news I got last week, it is time to rejoice once again! Ten days earlier than expected I today received my passport back from the Iranian consulate in Munich with a travel visa valid for 30 days. So the only uncertainty which remains is the LOI for Turkmenistan.

Let’s not forget the last challenge, which I won’t face before arriving in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, which is to obtain a tourist visa for entering China. At least the spirits are high and the expectation, that also the last couple of visas will work out as planned, is very present.
As a nice side effect, I now have my passport back, which is required to obtain a free bank account with a credit card, in order to retrieve money world-wide without any fees.
