For most of the Middle-East countries we need a Visa to get in and out. In total 8 Visa's of which the one's for the UAE and Saudi-Arabia are only issued on
invitation. In the route section we've gathered Visa information for each country, including special regulations when bringing a car.
For the Visa hunt we gathered the following set of documents:
- Letter of recommendation from Dutch local government
- Letter of recommendation from our employers
- 16 color photo's each (Janine with Chador :-) )
- A brand new passport (enough pages for Visa stamps)
- The route we plan to travel
- Hotel reservation/invitation from the UAE
- Approx. DFL 1500,- for the complete set of Visa's.
In January 2000 we started contacting embassies by phone for information how to apply for a Visa.
Furthermore a few links which we used for obtaining Visa's:
