In 2024, more than 2 000 citizens of Turkmenistan took advantage of the opportunity to visit Malaysia without a visa for up to 90 days, the official Turkmen press reports.
This became possible, among other things, thanks to the Agreement of Mutual Understanding on Cooperation in Tourism between the governments of Turkmenistan and Malaysia signed last year.
The agreement, consisting of 11 points and designed for 5 years, is aimed at strengthening Turkmen-Malaysian cooperation in tourism. Its implementation is monitored by the Ministry of Culture of Turkmenistan and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture of Malaysia.
Direct flights between the capitals of the two countries and the possibility of visa-free stay contribute to an increase in the number of Turkmen tourists visiting Malaysia.
In addition, about 15 agreements were concluded between Turkmen and Malaysian travel companies, which also contributes to the development of tourism. Turkmen citizens can arrange their trips through more than 100 operating Turkmen travel companies offering group, individual and family tours.
