Booking a Tour to Turkmenistan — FAQ

How do I book a tour to Turkmenistan?
Choose a tour on our website, select a departure date and send a booking request or pay online. We confirm your booking within 24 hours and immediately start processing your visa invitation (LOI). You can also email or WhatsApp us for a custom itinerary.
Do I need a visa to visit Turkmenistan?
Yes, almost all foreign nationals need a visa. A tourist visa requires a Letter of Invitation (LOI) issued through a licensed local tour operator. When you book a tour with TmTourism, we prepare and submit the LOI for you — it is included in the tour price.
How far in advance should I book a Turkmenistan tour?
We recommend booking at least 6–8 weeks before your travel dates. LOI processing by the State Migration Service usually takes 15–20 business days, and you need extra time to receive the visa itself.
Can I visit the Darvaza Gas Crater ("Door to Hell")?
Yes — the Darvaza Gas Crater is included in most of our tours. The classic option is an overnight trip from Ashgabat with dinner and camping next to the burning crater. It can be booked as a stand-alone 2-day tour or as part of a longer itinerary.
Should I choose a group tour or a private tour?
Group departures are the most affordable way to travel — you join a guaranteed small group on fixed dates. Private tours give you full flexibility: your own guide, car and custom itinerary on any dates. Both include visa support, hotels and transport.
How can I pay for my tour?
You can pay securely online by card (Visa/Mastercard via Stripe) or by bank transfer. A deposit confirms your booking; the balance is payable before or on arrival, depending on the tour.
Is Turkmenistan safe for tourists?
Yes, Turkmenistan is one of the safest countries in Central Asia, with very low crime rates. All our tours are accompanied by a licensed local guide, and we support you 24/7 during the trip.
