If entry to a foreign country requires a visa, we recommend that you apply for it in advance (1-2 months in advance) to the diplomatic mission or consulate of the relevant state in Kazakhstan in person or through a well-established travel agency. The website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan has a list of countries to enter which the citizens of Kazakhstan are not required to get a visa, depending on the type of passport and the duration of the planned trip.
Keep in mind that the term of registration of visas in some embassies of foreign countries sometimes takes a long time, especially during the period of increase in tourist flow abroad. In this case, each embassy establishes at its own discretion the procedure for issuing a visa, including an interview with a consul, the cost of the visa and a list of documents required to obtain a visa.
Strict adherence to the requirements imposed by foreign embassies for visa documents (size of photo, correct and readable filling of the application form, payment of consular fee, etc.) will contribute to positive and timely consideration of your visa application.
You should not pay for your trip before you receive your visa. Keep in mind that foreign embassies are not responsible for any financial losses you may incur if your visa is denied or delayed.
Nor should you count on a fixed-date ticket to help you get a visa on short notice. Although some embassies impose such a requirement.
If you are transiting through other countries to your destination country, ask in advance about the need for transit visas, including the period of validity and number of times they are required for safe crossing of borders.
When you receive a visa of a foreign country, check the accuracy of the data indicated in it: your passport number, name and surname, date of birth, category, multiplicity and validity of the visa, the total number of days allowed to stay in a foreign country. Remember that mistakes in the visa, even through no fault of your own, may have undesirable consequences - both upon entry and during your stay in a foreign country.
Below are the peculiarities of visa rules of the most visited countries by kazakh citizens.
