Alright, so I wanted to get a visa for Turkmenistan, and let me tell you, it wasn’t the easiest thing in the world, but I managed to get it done. Here’s how I did it, step by step.
First off, I did some digging online about how to get a Turkmenistan visa. I found out that you can actually apply for it online, which sounded pretty convenient. There’s the official government website, and also some other third-party websites that help with the process. I decided to go with the official website route, just to be safe.
So, I went to the official website, and it was a bit of a mess, honestly. Information was scattered all over the place. But I eventually found the application form. It said I needed to fill out this form with all my details and add a photo. It looked simple enough, but the website was kind of slow and kept crashing.

Fill the Application Form
I started filling out the form. They asked for the usual stuff – name, passport details, travel dates, etc. I made sure to double-check everything because I didn’t want any mistakes that could mess up my application. Getting the photo right was a bit of a hassle. It had to be a specific size and format, and I spent a good hour trying to get it to upload properly.
Then came the part where I needed to gather all the required documents. They wanted a copy of my passport, and it had to be the original, signed one. It was a bit confusing, but I realized they wanted me to scan my passport. So, I scanned all the relevant pages, making sure the scans were clear and readable.
Submit and Wait
After what felt like forever, I finally managed to fill out the form and upload all the documents. I hit the submit button and hoped for the best. Now, it was just a waiting game. They didn’t give a specific timeframe, which was a bit annoying. I kept checking my email every day, hoping to hear something back.
A couple of weeks went by, and I was starting to get worried. I contacted their support team to get an update, but they were not very helpful. I guess I just had to be patient.
Success!
Finally, after about three weeks, I got an email saying my visa application was approved! I was so relieved. They sent me the eVisa as an attachment, and I printed it out right away. It wasn’t the smoothest process, but I got it done.
So, that’s my story of getting a Turkmenistan visa online. It was a bit of a headache, but if you’re patient and persistent, you can do it too. Just make sure you have all your documents ready and double-check everything before submitting. Good luck!
