Kazakhstan visa has arrived

We've been quiet over the last month but things have been far from quiet for us. We have a minimum of four visas that must be obtained before we depart on the 21st June: Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia and China.
We'll be applying for them in that order. We sent off for the Kazakhstan visa about 12 days ago and despite the challenges associated with a Kazakhstan visa when entering overland, we received our visa today!

The process wasn't too bad, although we did have to produce a fair amount of documentation.

This Kazakhstan visa is our first Beijing Rally related document, it finally feels like progress is being made! More news to follow soon on how we'll be handling the situation in the Ukraine.
