South Korean ordinary passports: Turkmenistan airport arrival visa
Korea’s current Foreign Ministry guidance directly says ordinary passports are not visa-free and that the Turkmen visa is affixed at the airport when the traveller carries the required Migration-approved official invitation.
- Applies to a South Korean citizen travelling on an ordinary passport for a short visit.
- Before travel, obtain an official invitation approved by the State Migration Service; the guidance warns that boarding is unavailable without it.
- The visa itself is affixed on arrival at a Turkmen airport. Tourist invitations are requested through a local travel agency; land-border issuance, work, residence, special documents, restricted areas and final admission remain outside scope.
