Kazakhstan visa
As a state officially recognized by the UN, Kazakhstan has ratified many international agreements. International travel and tourism are not an exception. As a rule, a foreigner needs to have an official permission to cross the border of the Republic of Kazakhstan. For that, he/she must have a visa. As of January 2023, there are 3 options available for foreigners when it comes to a Kazakh visa: visa free regime, online e-visa and offline paper visa. When applied at the embassy, it takes at least 10 working days.
Kazakhstan e visa
Back in 2019 the Kazakh government introduced e-visa. As of January 2023, citizens of 109 countries can apply for a Kazakh e-visa. To get an e-visa, a tourist must get a letter of invitation (LOI) from a licensed Kazakh tour operator. To apply for the LOI, the tourist needs to send the following docs and details to the tour operator:
-photo/scan of his/her passport
-place of employment and position held
-living address
-planned accommodation (as a rule, a room at hotel)
-planned date of arrival and departure. Then based on the above, the LOI is issued in 5-10 working days. As for the e-visa itself, it can be downloaded from the visa-migration web portal in 5 minutes (!) as long as the LOI is out.
Kazakhstan visa requirements
They are not very difficult at all. As long as a tourist has a valid passport and a proper LOI, the job is done. If one has to apply at the Kazakh embassy, then some extra docs and procedures might be necessary such as a bank account statement, a passport photo, medical examination papers, interview by a visa officer, etc.
Kazakhstan entry requirements
are standard as it is everywhere. Kazakh Security organisation checks the background of an applicant online or offline at the border checkpoint or the airport. As long as all is clean and no serious criminal record is detected, then green light is on. If there are some issues, as a rule the applicant will be denied access without any explanation.
