- xenospn 2y agoI’ve been to both and the Turkmenistan visa took me a week. North Korea required 2.5 years.
- albroland 2y agoSame, but my Turkmenistan LoI took over 4 years and several attempts to get (us passport holder). It has been by far the most problematic and difficult country for me to gain entry to. DPRK, Iran, etc all were substantially easier. My DPRK one was not an issue in the slightest, maybe 1-2 month turnaround from the tour company applying. YMMV.
- xenospn 2y agoI physically walked into the Turkmen embassy in Tashkent, handed them my passport with the filled form, and came back a week later. I was surprised, but it was probably the easiest central Asian visa to get.
