Turkmenistan visa for spouses and children of Turkmen citizens living in Türkiye

This procedure applies to Turkmen citizens living in Türkiye. The Embassy in Ankara states that Turkmen citizens can obtain an entry visa to Turkmenistan for their foreign husband or wife, or their foreign child, at its Consular Department. The application is made by the Turkmen citizen, who must be living in Türkiye with a Turkish residence permit. Family visas appear as level FM in Turkmenistan's list of visa types. Other Turkmen missions have not published an equivalent checklist, so Turkmen citizens living in other countries should ask the mission for their country of residence.

If the Turkmen citizen registered the marriage at a marriage office in Türkiye, the copy of the marriage certificate must be certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye before it is submitted. All documents are presented as one colour copy each on A4 paper.

The Turkmen citizen submits an application addressed to the Consular Department; a colour copy of their Turkish residence permit card; colour copies of the first page of the biometric passport and of pages 1, 2, 3, 8, 9 and 32 of the passport; colour copies of their birth certificate and official marriage certificate; the special visa application for the relative or child; and colour copies of the relative's or child's Turkish residence card and passport.

Consular fees for single-entry visas are USD 20 for up to 10 days, USD 30 for up to 20 days, USD 40 for up to a month and USD 30 for each further month. Multiple-entry visas cost USD 60 for the first month and USD 40 for each further month. Visas issued at Ashgabat International Airport carry an extra USD 50. A further fee to cover actual costs depends on where the visa is issued, regardless of nationality, and fees are not refunded if a visa is cancelled.

Consular actions are carried out within 10 calendar days of receipt of the documents. Urgent processing within 3 working days, and services outside working hours, at weekends or on holidays, cost 100 percent more. Payment is due when the documents are submitted.
