About the Turkmenistan Passport
The Turkmenistan passport ranks 59th and belongs to the lower tier for global mobility. Only 16 destinations are visa-free, though the total reaches 97 when visa on arrival, eTA and e-Visa access are counted. North America is the best region with 6 visa-free countries, and Oceania and South America have a single one each.
For major destinations, China, Singapore, Australia and the United Arab Emirates offer an e-Visa, which at least keeps the process online. France and the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Japan and Brazil all require a visa before departure. In total, 100 countries fall into the visa-required group, so most international trips involve an embassy or consulate step. A second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 83 destinations.
