Visas

Getting all the visas in your passport is the most important thing before you leave. Without those visas, you will be turned away from the first border you come to outside Europe. We don't provide a visa service for ralliers - unlike some rallies, who take your passport for 3 months, charge a premium over the standard visa prices and claim they are giving you an 'exclusive' service.

Most visas can be easily obtained by applying directly to the embassy in your country of residence. Want to know how? Look no further than the Charity Rallies visa guide to quench your thirst for visa knowledge. This online guide is built by ralliers for ralliers and is to visas what wikipedia is to the encyclopedia.

If all this sounds too much like a day in the office, there are plenty of very professional and efficient visa companies out there. They'll ease some of the pain and are crucial for some of the trickier countries, like Iran. The visa guide also contains recommendations from previous ralliers and comments on the commercial companies.

Turkmenistan Visas - The only exception to the no support rule is the Turkmenistan visa. We provide direct support for applying for a Turkmenistan transit visa. This is completed in one block application shortly before the main group leave on the rally. There is no charge for this service, however we can only do this for one group per year. Details will be sent to you after you sign up, or see the Turkmenistan Visa pages for more information.
