Türkiye has introduced a visa regime with Turkmenistan. The corresponding Decree was signed by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on September 13, reports the “Official Gazette of the Republic of Türkiye”.
In accordance with the Decree, decision № 2007/12441 of the Council of Ministers of Türkiye dated July 19, 2007, according to which citizens of Turkmenistan with ordinary passports could stay in Türkiye for up to 30 days without a visa for tourist purposes, is annulled.
Let us remind that earlier the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan appealed to Türkiye with a request to temporarily introduce a visa regime for Turkmen citizens “in order to improve and maintain, on a systematic basis, the rules for the stay of citizens of Turkmenistan in the Republic of Türkiye”.
