Letter of Invitation to Turkmenistan

Letter of Invitation to Turkmenistan

To enter Turkmenistan all travelers are required to have a transit or tourist visa. The tourist visas are delivered on the basis of an issued visa support letter, also referred to as a Letter of Invitation. The LOI requires usually 7-10 working days to process.

With an approved LOI you can apply for your visa at a Turkmen embassy or consulate abroad, or obtain it directly at the Turkmen land border at Gaudan (Bajgiran/Mashad, Iran), Farab (Bukhara, Uzbekistan), Dashoguz (Shavat\Khiva, Uzbekistan), Kunya-Urgench (Khojeyli\Nukus, Uzbekistan); at the sea port in Turkmenbashi, or at the international airport in Ashgabat upon arrival. 

To get a letter of invitation to Turkmenistan, please do the following:

• Fill out Turkmenistan Visa Support / Letter of Invitation (LOI) Form;
• Book an accommodation;
• Email us a good quality scan of your passport (full page that clearly shows all text, photo, signature, bar code);
