Brief
- Turkmenistan has restrictive entry procedures: most visitors need a visa arranged in advance, and tourist travel commonly requires an approved itinerary or local guide. Allow extra time for visa processing and carry your passport and registration documents.
- Ashgabat is highly regulated and spread out. Public transport and taxis may be limited for visitors, while cash is more useful than international cards. Confirm hotel, transport and guide arrangements before arrival.
- A daily Ashgabat-Avaza bus service reportedly operates from near Ashgabat railway station, departing at 06:00, with the return service leaving Avaza at 13:00. (

Safety and health

- Sand flies can transmit leishmaniasis. Use repellent, cover exposed skin and sleep in screened or air-conditioned accommodation where possible. (
