Kazakhstan Visa and Support
Foreigners need visa to enter Kazakhstan, unless their country is in the visa-free list. In general, you might have one of the following three:
– Visa-free entry;
– Visa upon arrival;
– Visa at the Embassy.
Another important issue is registration at the immigration police upon arrival in Kazakhstan. Depending on your citizenship one of the following three rules are applicable:
– Registration should be obtained within 5 days of arrival;
– After 30 days of stay;
– Registration is not required, two stamps are put upon arrival.
