During this planning process, I’ve attempted to organise things in a slightly un-organised way. I now know how you should do it, but the rough approach has been as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. plan route<\/li>\n
  2. sketch-out visa requirements<\/li>\n
  3. realise that passport will not leave enough time before expiry and re-apply<\/li>\n
  4. wait for new passport to arrive<\/li>\n
  5. attempt to organise Russian and Chinese visas. Realise that the Russian visa requires exact entry and exit dates and complete the application form using a ‘best guess’<\/li>\n
  6. plan route through Russia, getting entry and exit dates<\/li>\n
  7. attempt to organise Russian visa. Re-apply using the correct dates (and complete process)<\/li>\n
  8. attempt to organise Chinese visa. Realise that travel insurance is required, along with accommodation confirmation<\/li>\n
  9. research and buy travel insurance<\/li>\n
  10. research and book travel accommodation<\/li>\n
  11. attempt to organise a Chinese visa (and complete process)<\/li>\n
  12. confirm route through Russia.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
