NOTE:
The validity period of biometric passports of the citizens of Turkmenistan has been extended only until 31.12.2024. Further extension - issuance of a new biometric passport of a citizen of Turkmenistan is carried out only on the territory of Turkmenistan at the State Migration Service of Turkmenistan.
The Embassy does not issue a new biometric passport. In this regard, before the expiry date of his/her biometric passport, a citizen of Turkmenistan who is abroad should travel to Turkmenistan and submit documents for obtaining a new passport at the Migration Service in Turkmenistan, as the biometric data must be submitted personally by the applicant.
On the website (https://migration.gov.tm/pages/pasport-perecen) of the State Migration Service of Turkmenistan, there is a List of documents required for the issuance of a Turkmen passport with biometric data.
