G'day xt etc, I haven't read through the whole thread so forgive me if this is out of context of whatever,, but anyhow...
I applied for my Turkmenistan transit visa in Dushanbe, a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't ready when I was told to collect it (a week later), which pissed me off no end coz I was on my way to Uzbekistan. they said they'd send an email so I could get the visa at the border. Much to my surprise the email arrived 5 days later. So I'm expecting nothing but the usual border hassles when I cross in a couple of days.
Transit visa is 5days. Apparently any other type is major hassle. Don't need guide.
Personally I think 5 days is more than enough time to spend in Turkmenistan...
