Embassy notes that, along with a visa application: "A letter of invitation from the person or company that you are visiting is also required...certified by the State Migration Service of Turkmenistan, and it will only be valid for 3 months from the date of certification. If you are only a tourist and will not be visiting anyone in particular, then you need to contact a tourist agency and obtain permission from them." Visas are available for stays up to 12 months.
