Irish citizen passport holders require a visa.

Wendy Wu Tours will contact you around 6-10 weeks before your tour start date to request the necessary information in order to provide a Letter of Invitation, which is required for entry into Turkmenistan.

As the visa fee is now payable directly at the border upon arrival, Wendy Wu Tours will arrange a refund of the visa cost.

When you arrive at the border, you will need to present both your passport and the Letter of Invitation.

Further details about the process, and your Letter of Invitation will be included in your final documentation pack, which you can expect to receive approximately two weeks before departure.
