To the best of my knowledge, Turkmenistan does not offer a set procedure for citizenship. However you can stay there if you are doing some job with the permission of government. You will get visa for 6 months and it is renewed after expiry. You can also allowed visa if you marry a Turkmen. Cityzenship is given to only stateless persons by the President.
