The British Foreign and Commonwealth¹ office reports that the Turkmen-Kazhakh border has been closed until further notice. As always when the Turkmens do things, there is a lack of further information. If you're in Turkmenistan on a transit visa right now and stuck because of this, I recommend contacting the Embassy of your country ASAP.

Re: Turkmen-Kazhakh border currently closed
Asked about the current situation during a trip to Turkmenistan this week. The border is still closed in March 2019.

We wish to drive from Aktau to Turkmenbashi via the Temirbaba border crossing? Is this border currently open and is the road fully open?
Many thanks.

Re: Temirbaba (Turkmen-Kazakh) border crossing reports
So I tried to call to the number specified on the Tu bordr crossing page ( +7 708 987 3935) and the guy was pretty angry, he said he has nothing to do with it and does not know anyrhing about Temirbaba. So I suggest delete the info from the site.

One more note, I went to Turkmen embassy in Bishkek today and after some calls they confirmed that the crossing is still closed.

Re: Temirbaba (Turkmen-Kazakh) border crossing reports
Temir-Baba has been off-limits for a while now for holders of Mangystau registered ID's who do not need a visa. With that in mind, you also had to have a contact with someone close to the border to ask if they let people in as Turkmen border tends to be erratic and closed without any announcement and explanation given.
P.S. 90% of the Aktau to Temir-baba road is of excellent quality, however last 10 kilometers are horrendous, SUV's are recommended.

Garabogaz border
Hello,
I want to travel from Turkmenbachi to Aktau (Kazakhstan) by sedan car.
Can someone tell me if:
- the Garabogaz border is opened now?
- is the road between Turkmenbacho to Aktau is good enough for a Sedan car?
Thank you very much.

Re: Garabogaz border
I don't know if the border is open (it was closed recently).
In 2017, the last section of the Garbogaz - state border route is a ride on the steppe. No asphalt, ruts, sand. He can do it in a sedan, but slowly.
