Practical Guide to Turkmenistan 2026: Money, Communication, and Transport
Planning a trip to Turkmenistan? To ensure your journey is comfortable, we've prepared answers to the most frequent questions from tourists.
1. Money and Currency
The official currency is the Turkmen Manat (TMT).
- Tip: Bring cash US dollars (new bills, without stamps or tears). Foreign bank cards are only accepted in major hotels in Ashgabat, so cash is your best friend.
2. Mobile Communication and Internet
The main operator is TM CELL (Altyn Asyr).
- How to connect: Tourists can buy a temporary SIM card at the operator's offices with a passport.
- Important: VPN may be required to access common social networks, but most hotels have Wi-Fi.
3. Transport
Traveling between cities is most convenient by Turkmenistan Airlines flights – it's fast and inexpensive. Within cities, state-owned taxis and buses operate.
With TmTourism, you don't need to worry about these small details – we handle the organization of logistics and assist with currency exchange!
