Kazakhstan Visa Policy
Kazakhstan has a current visa policy that classes visitors based on their nationality. While most visitors need visas before they can enter the country, some other nationalities can get in without visas or with online visas. The country has a visa-free list of countries which it regularly updates. People from these countries can stay in Kazakhstan without visas for up to 90 days within 180 day period. If you are from any of the countries below, you qualify for visa-free entry
Residents of the Balkan region in Turkmenistan have visa-free access to Mangystau and Atyrau province for up to 5 days per visit but they must hold valid passports or ID cards.
Kazakhstan Business Visa Free Program
The visa-free program of Kazakhstan is different from the special visa exemptions for citizens of the selected countries . This program has fewer days, only 30 days per visit, and it is largely a business visa to attract foreign direct investment into the country. The program was launched in 2014 and offers unilateral visa access to citizens from eligible countries. Eligible business visitors must have signed letters of invitation issued to them by their host in Kazakhstan. They will also be required to provide proof of funds and a bank statement of account will suffice. Representatives of foreign companies and organizations must travel with letters issued by their employers or principals containing details of their trip and itinerary details like their arrival and departure dates and places of interests they will visit.
Transit Visa Free Program For Indian and Chinese Travelers
Travelers with Chinese and Indian passports traveling to Kazakhstan do not need transit visas if they stay in the country for 72 hours or less and are traveling through Almaty International Airport or Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport. They must hold a valid air ticket and travel with any Kazakhstan-owned airline. They will also be required to hold valid passports or resident permits for the country they are traveling to.
Kazakhstan e Visa
In 2019 the Kazakh government unveiled a new visa program called the electronic visa. This online visa is issued to foreign nationals who have an invitation letter issued to them by the Migration Service. Such persons can get a single-entry e-visa issued to them for business, tourism, and medical purposes. The only approved routes for e-visa holders are Almaty and Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airports.
This program was launched to expedite the visa process for eligible visitors, and it is valid for only 30 days, after which the visitor must leave the country. E-visa applications are done online and take only a few minutes to complete the application. Apart from inputting your personal details, security questions must be answered before submitting the form. Successful applicants will receive the e-visa at their email addresses.
Key points About The Kazakhstan e Visa
Interested applicants for e-visas to Kazakhstan should bear the following in mind as they prepare to submit their applications. These details will also come in handy during your stay in the country.
Not For Residency/Work/Study: Electronic visas are short-term stays and not for work, study, or residency. The maximum number of days you can stay in Kazakhstan is 30 days and not a day more, unlike other long-stay visas that allow visits of up to one year and more. If you wish to work, study or reside in Kazakhstan, you should visit a foreign mission office abroad to apply for a long-term visa.
Print it Out: Once the e-visa is approved and forwarded to your inbox, you should print it out and travel with a copy. The immigration officers will request a copy as evidence. Also, always carry the copy along with you when you are outdoors in case you encounter law enforcement officers.
Don’t Overstay: Make sure you don’t stay in the country for more than the days allowed. Overstaying will lead to sanctions.
Use The Same Passport: Please use the same passport for your trip like you used for your application. E visas are linked to the applicant’s passport, so if you use a different passport, it is assumed that you don’t have a visa.
Use Approved Routes: When traveling to Kazakhstan on an e visa, make sure you only use approved routes. These airport routes are listed on each visa option.
Extension Application: If you choose to apply for an extension of your visa do so before your current one expires. It is illegal to stay in Kazakhstan on an expired visa. Staying a day more is a violation that will attract sanctions from the authorities like fines for each day spent in violation or an outright ban from re entry.
Fee is Non Refundable: The application fees for e visas are not refundable. Also bear in mind that paying this fee is not a guarantee that the e visa will be issued to you. E visa applications are paid with credit or debit cards. Only eligible and qualified persons with the right documents will get it.
