Do I have to issue an invitation letter to apply for a Turkmenistan visa?

Turkmenistan is one of the most arid regions in the world, with the famous "Hell's Gate" attractions. Some people want to visit, but I heard that an invitation letter must be issued to apply for a Turkmenistan visa. Is this true?

Turkmenistan visas are divided into diplomatic, official, business, private, transit, study, tourism and other categories. Chinese citizens must issue a formal invitation letter no matter which type of visa they apply. Even according to the visa-free agreement signed between China and Turkmenistan, Chinese citizens holding ordinary diplomatic, official, and official passports are exempt from visas to Turkey, but they must present an official invitation letter when entering the country.

Therefore, whether it is a person with a business or private passport, if you want to apply for a Turkmenistan visa, the first item is to apply for an invitation letter. If you want to obtain the invitation letter from Turkmenistan, you need to prepare the materials for handling the invitation letter according to the requirements of the Immigration Bureau, and the processing time is 10-15 working days.

For many people who do not know about the invitation letter, they will choose a travel agency to handle the invitation letter. However, through the agency of the travel agency, relevant materials must also be provided to the travel agency to apply for the invitation letter on its behalf. Therefore, it is also very important for the applicant to select a local travel agency with high cost performance. After all, capable travel agencies, the invitation letter applied for is the primary document for visa processing.

Those who receive the invitation letter also need to prepare visa information, including filling in the application form, the original and photocopy of the passport, the invitation letter of the Turkmenistan Immigration Bureau, photos, etc., and pay the corresponding fees, such as choosing express service, and also need to pay the visa Post-delivery fee (EMS)50 yuan.

In addition, Chinese citizens can also apply for a visa on arrival to Turkey, and they also need to apply for an invitation letter. When entering the country, they must provide a passport (valid for not less than the stay period), an invitation letter, an approval letter from the Immigration Bureau, a health certificate and other relevant documents. The period of stay depends on the invitation.
