Re: Passing to Abkhazia from Enguri Border Post by dxdiag Β» Sun Oct 20, pm Latest report: After the reopening of the border, I re-submitted my entry clearance application and received it 5 days later. I failed to find a marshrutka to the border after getting off the overnight train at Zugdidi station.
Tooked a taxi to the border got charged 15 Lari and the officer couldn't speak English. He pointed at his watch, which means I was required to wait until 10am. I Chinese passport waited and met 3 EU passport holders who arrived later. At 10 o'clock the officer told us that we are OK to go.
Walked about 20min to the Abkhazian side, where Abkhazian officers in pure green clothes checked our passports, made some phone calls and kept a copy of each entry clearance. We asked for stamps and he was willing to stamp our passports. Processed to the Russian passport control. Russian officers checked our backpacks with detector and waved us through. The actual passport control was as slow as in Russian airports, while I can only see the officer's hand through the glass.
