China Introduces Visa K: What Opportunities Will It Open for Turkmen Citizens
Starting October 1, the People's Republic of China will introduce a new visa category K, aimed at young foreign specialists in science and technology. This is reported by CCTV, citing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China.
According to spokesperson Guo Jiajun, the initiative aims to expand international cooperation and exchanges among young scientists and experts in high-tech fields.
Unlike the existing 12 types of regular visas, visa category K allows for a greater number of entries, has a longer validity period, and extends the stay duration.
Holders of this visa will be able to participate in educational, cultural, and scientific-technical programs, as well as implement entrepreneurial and business initiatives. To obtain the visa, one must meet basic criteria regarding age, education level, and professional experience. No invitation from the Chinese side is required, and the application process is simplified.
For young specialists from Turkmenistan, this innovation will open new opportunities for education, participation in joint projects, and strengthening professional ties with the international scientific community.

TikTok has entered into an agreement to transfer control of its U.S. business to a newly formed investor-led joint venture. The decision was revealed through reports citing internal company documentation.
Under the terms of the deal, which is expected to be finalized on January 22, 2026, Oracle, Silver Lake, and the Abu Dhabi–based investment firm MGX will collectively acquire a 45 percent stake in TikTok’s American operations.
The joint venture, to be headquartered in Washington, will oversee data protection, algorithm security, content moderation, and software quality standards. These steps are designed to strengthen regulatory compliance and international confidence in the platform, including interest from regions such as Turkmenistan.
The move follows an executive order signed on September 26 by U.S. President Donald Trump, requiring the sale of TikTok’s U.S. assets to American investors.
