Well now, let’s talk about gettin’ yourself a Turkmenistan ID card, or whatever they call it. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But hold your horses, it ain’t as easy as pickin’ apples, I tell ya.
First off, you gotta be a Turkmen fella, or a lady, I reckon. Can’t just waltz in from who-knows-where and expect to get one. It’s like tryin’ to milk a cow that ain’t yours, ain’t gonna happen.
Now, if you are one of them Turkmen folks, you gotta go through the rigmarole. First, they gonna want some proof, you know? Like, who your mama and daddy is, where you was born, all that stuff. Gotta show ’em you ain’t just some fly-by-night character. They call it “verifying your identity”, sounds like somethin’ the sheriff would say. They probably use some kinda fancy machine now, not like the old days when the village elder just knew everyone.
Then there’s the paperwork. Lordy, the paperwork! Forms and stamps and whatnot. Makes my head spin just thinkin’ about it. You gotta fill out everything just so, or they’ll send you right back, like a bad egg. And don’t even get me started on the lines! You’ll be waitin’ longer than a rooster takes to crow in the mornin’. Probably gotta go to some government office, all official-like.
- You need proof of who you are.
- Lots of papers to fill out.
- Maybe a long wait.
I heard tell that back in the old days, when they was part of that Soviet Union thing, it was different. But now they’re on their own, got their own rules, their own ways of doin’ things. Just like when my Jebediah decided he was gonna build his own chicken coop, different rules than when his pappy built it. Just ’cause things were one way back then don’t mean nothin’ now.
And if you’re one of them foreigners, well, good luck to ya. It’s harder than gettin’ a mule to climb a tree. You need a special invitation, like you’re comin’ to a fancy party or somethin’. And even then, it ain’t a sure thing. They’re real strict over there, or so I hear. They like to keep things close to the vest, not like us where everyone knows everyone else’s business.
They got these passports too, for travelin’ and such. Green, they are. Like a spring meadow, but don’t let that fool ya, they ain’t easy to get neither. Especially if you’re already over there and your passport runs out. Apparently, you can’t just get a new one at their embassy, like most places. You gotta go back home, can you imagine that? A real pain in the neck, if you ask me. It’s like havin’ to go all the way back to the well for another bucket when you just spilled a little water.
So, to sum it up, gettin’ a Turkmenistan ID ain’t no walk in the park. You gotta be one of them, you gotta have your papers in order, and you gotta be patient. And if you’re a foreigner? Well, you better have a good reason to be there, and a whole lot of luck. It’s their country, their rules, and that’s all there is to it. Just like how it is in my henhouse, my chickens, my rules.
And remember, always be respectful. Just like you would when you’re visiting someone else’s farm. You don’t go stompin’ through their fields and yellin’ at their cows, do ya? Same thing applies here. Be polite, be patient, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll get what you need. And if you don’t? Well, that’s just life, ain’t it? Sometimes you get the worm, sometimes the worm gets you.
Now, I ain’t no expert on these things. I’m just tellin’ ya what I heard and what makes sense to a simple old woman like me. But if you’re serious about gettin’ that ID card, you best do your homework and follow their rules. That’s the best advice I can give ya.
