Tax residency
Easy to leaveWhat makes you a tax resident — and how hard it is to stop being one.
- physical presence in Turkmenistan for 183 days or more in a calendar year
- having permanent residence in Turkmenistan (as defined by the Civil Code) for tax purposes
Tax residency is based on days of presence and permanent residence; ceasing to be resident is generally achieved by leaving Turkmenistan so you are present less than 183 days and no longer having permanent residence, with no indication of multi‑year tail or exit tax.
