Turkmenistan is Open and Welcoming tourists again!
Starting from March 1, 2023, tourists will be permitted to enter the country for tourism purposes with a valid tourist visa.
Turkmenistan has the most strict visa policy in Central Asia
Almost all foreign citizens must have a Turkmen visa to enter the country and therefore Turkmenistan is not well-known as a travel destination.
There are two types of visas that tourists can use. The first is a tourist visa, and the second option is a transit visa. Tourist visas can only be obtained together with ordering a tour. If you purchase a Turkmenistan tour through us, a visa will be included in the tour price.
