Visa policy of Turkmenistan

Citizens of all countries require a visa to enter Turkmenistan unless they have special passports. To obtain a tourist visa for Turkmenistan, all foreign citizens must supply an invitation letter issued by a travel agency licensed in Turkmenistan.

Holders of a letter of invitation issued by a company registered in Turkmenistan with a prior approval from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may obtain a visa on arrival valid for 10 days, and extendable for another 10 days.

There are plans to introduce electronic visas and abolish the requirement of a letter of invitiation. A decree that will introduce these changes was signed by President Serdar Berdimuhamedow and entered into force on April 18, 2025. The types of electronic visas that will be available, how they will be issued, and how long they will be valid for are still to be decided by the Turkmen President. This new law aims to allow smoother business visits and potentially boost foreign tourism.
