Two percent chance

Well we submitted our applications for Turkmenistan visas this week. Most likely we are not getting them though. We were told that only 915 of them were issued in 2015, meaning the rejection rate of above 98%. Now I really want to visit that place, I have a plan for what I want to do there too.

Do you have any insight into why applications are rejected?

They are paranoid about any international exposure by undercover journalists, any human rights activists, etc, etc. Not very different from North Korea in this respect.
