The border to Armenia is closed and there are also landmines and border conflicts. You are not allowed to pass to border to Russia if you are not of the nationality of one of the [[CIS]] nations or have a special permission. To Iran you will need a valid visa. Thats also the case when travelling with the [[ferry]] from [[Baku]] to [[Türkmenbaşy]], [[Turkmenistan]] or to [[Aqtau]], [[Kazakhstan]]. Getting the ferry should be absolutely hard by hitchhiking, prices for tickets are higher for foreigners and it seems to be hard to get one. The border to Georgia is open for hitchhiking.

3-Ferry to Kazakhstan goes once in a week. There is no any steady schedule. Not to miss the ferry, you have to go to Deniz Vokzal beforehand and put yourself down on a waiting list of passengers. Take the phone number of information bureau and call them every early morning to ask if the ferry is full. When the ferry will be full, they will tell you the exact time and date of ferry departure.On the date of departure in an hour-two beforehand, you have to be on Deniz Vokzal and buy the ticket. If you are late, they will not wait for you and the ferry will leave Baku without you, despite the fact that you have been on a waiting list. (+994 12) 4930868 (+994 12) 4939606
