## Official evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Turkmenistan: citizen right of entry** (Citizenship)
  Turkmenistan’s Migration Law and current Migration Service guidance directly establish a Turkmen citizen’s right to enter with the prescribed citizen travel document.
  - The current Migration Service identifies the biometric Turkmen passport as an entry document; the Migration Law establishes the citizen entry right. This is not a foreign visitor visa exemption.
  - This does not decide dual-nationality/document choice, exit restrictions, residence, work, military, registration, security or individual border treatment.

- **Current official route — Kazakhstan ordinary passport: Turkmenistan visa required** (Visa required)
  Kazakhstan MFA’s current passport-type table marks Turkmenistan as “visa” for an ordinary Kazakhstan passport, consistent with Turkmenistan’s statutory foreign-visitor visa baseline.
  - This normalization does not cover work, transit, diplomatic/service passports, residence-based entry or any local border arrangement.
  - Visa issuance and final admission remain subject to the competent Turkmen authorities and required documents.

- **Current official route — Russian ordinary passport: Turkmenistan visa required** (Visa required)
  Russia MFA’s current passport-type table records that a Russian ordinary passport requires a visa for Turkmenistan; the cited bilateral agreement is limited to the listed visa-free passport class.
  - This maps only ordinary passports for a short visitor purpose. It excludes diplomatic/service passports, residence/document exemptions, work, transit and individual admission decisions.
  - Turkmenistan’s current law provides that visa/eVisa is unnecessary where its international treaties provide a waiver; the Russian MFA table identifies the ordinary Russian passport as requiring a visa.
  - Visa issuance and final admission remain subject to the competent Turkmen authorities and required documents.

  - [Mejlis of Turkmenistan: Law of Turkmenistan on Migration](https://mejlis.gov.tm/single-law/226?lang=tm)

- **Current official route — Türkiye ordinary passport: visa required for Turkmenistan** (Visa required)
  Türkiye's current Foreign Ministry country notice directly states that ordinary Turkish passport holders are subject to a Turkmenistan visa requirement. The Turkmen Migration Law supplies the destination's visa baseline while preserving treaty exceptions.
  - This policy concerns a Turkish ordinary passport travelling for a short visitor purpose. It does not establish a visa-free, eVisa, ETA or visa-on-arrival route.
  - The separately described 30-day waiver is for service, special and diplomatic passports and requires the stated approval or invitation; it does not alter the ordinary-passport baseline.
  - Turkmenistan's law provides that foreign entry is visa-based unless an international treaty provides otherwise. Visa issuance, invitation, passport, purpose, registration and final-admission conditions remain applicable.

- **Current official route — United States ordinary passports: expressly available arrival visas** (Visa on arrival)
  Current State Department guidance expressly describes an arrival-issuance route for the listed destinations, subject to each stated limitation.
  - SY: tourist visa may be issued on arrival at Damascus International Airport or at land entry from Lebanon or Jordan; 30-day stay, fee and Israeli-document restrictions apply.
  - DJ: visitors may apply on arrival; the stated fee is USD 23.
  - KM: visa is available on arrival and payment is in cash USD or euros.
  - TM: obtain the required letter of invitation first; then an airport visa route is available at Ashgabat. Registration, purpose, document and final-admission conditions remain applicable.

- **Current official route — Full British citizen passport: Turkmenistan sponsored visa on arrival** (Visa on arrival)
  FCDO says a full British citizen passport holder may purchase a Turkmenistan visa on arrival after obtaining a letter of invitation.
  - A letter of invitation is mandatory before travel; for tourist visits, authorised travel agents can provide it.
  - The stated arrival route is at Ashgabat International Airport and some land borders, with current land-border details to be checked with the sponsor. It does not normalize transit visas, work, purpose, sponsor, entry point or final-admission conditions.

- **Current official route — Australian ordinary passports: expressly pre-departure visas** (Visa required)
  Smartraveller expressly requires these visas before arrival or travel.
  - TM also requires a letter of invitation, even for transit. TD and NE require a visa before arrival/travel.
  - This does not normalize work, residence, special documents, entry-point, security or final-admission requirements.

- **Current official route — German ordinary passports: named visitor visas issued at arrival** (Visa on arrival)
  The Federal Foreign Office expressly identifies a border-issued short-visitor route for each listed German ordinary-passport destination.
  - DJ: a visa can be applied for at entry. KM: tourist visa is issued on arrival at Grande Comore international airport. TM: airport issuance requires a pre-issued Turkmen Migration Service visa approval/invitation. CI: prior online application is followed by issuance at entry. GW: airport visa is available for 30 days; land-border issuance is unavailable. BD: normally available for tourism or business up to 30 days at Dhaka international airport, subject to listed documents. KH: tourist visa is available on arrival at all international border crossings.
  - TM and CI are classified as visa_on_arrival because the visa itself is issued at the border after pre-approval, not because of their online or pre-travel steps. This excludes special documents, work, residence and final admission.

- **Current official route — French ordinary passports: named visitor visas issued at arrival** (Visa on arrival)
  Official guidance identifies a border-issued visitor visa route for each listed French ordinary-passport destination.
  - DJ: a one-month visa can be obtained at entry, though France Diplomatie also lists a short-stay e-visa route. KM: visa at Moroni airport. TM: airport or port issuance requires the national migration service invitation. GA: obtain the DGDI travel-authorisation receipt before flying to Libreville Léon-Mba airport; the visa sticker and payment occur on arrival. CI: online registration and payment precede visa issuance at Abidjan airport. BD: eligible travellers apply online before departure and receive the visa at arrival for up to 30 days. KH: tourist visas are available directly at all international air, land, sea and river borders.
  - GA, TM, CI and BD are visa_on_arrival because the visa itself is issued at the border after an online or pre-authorisation step. This excludes final admission and route-specific exclusions.

- **Current official route — Spanish ordinary passports: named visitor visas issued at arrival** (Visa on arrival)
  Official current guidance identifies a visitor visa issued at the border for each listed Spanish ordinary-passport destination.
  - DJ: the international-airport route is discretionary and MAEC also records a short-stay e-visa route. IQ: Baghdad International Airport issuance follows online application; the online filing does not itself establish an e-visa. KM: airport issuance. TM: Ashgabat airport issuance is limited to a ten-day visa and requires the Turkmen migration-authorised invitation.
  - This records the expressly stated border-issuance route only; purpose, document, carrier, route and final-admission conditions continue to apply.

Work, residence, transit, special documents, carrier controls and final admission remain separate.

- **Current official route — Belgian ordinary passports: named visitor visas issued at arrival** (Visa on arrival)
  Current Belgian guidance identifies border-issued visitor visas for these ordinary Belgian-passport routes.
  - IQ: ordinary-passport travellers who are not journalists or NGO employees may in principle obtain a visa on entry; Belgium prefers advance Embassy issuance.

CI: Abidjan-airport issuance requires Snedai pre-enrolment approval, with at least two working days processing.
  - Online preapproval or invitation followed by border issuance is visa_on_arrival, not evisa. Purpose, route, carrier and final-admission conditions remain applicable.

- **Current official route — Seychellois passports: named advance visitor-visa cohort** (Visa required)
