Kazakhstan e-Visa
After approval, the e-Visa is sent by email and shown in your account. Print it for boarding and border control. Entry using an e-Visa is allowed only through Kazakhstan’s international airports.
Arrival guidanceOfficial reference [1]Entry conditions and exceptions
Check whether these rules affect your eligibility, application, or arrival.
Check whether you must register after arrival
An e-Visa does not replace registration at your place of stay when Kazakhstan’s migration rules require it.
Official guidance [2]Your host must notify Kazakhstan about your stay
Your host, hotel representative or accommodation provider must notify Kazakhstan’s migration authorities within three working days of your arrival. A notification is also required after each entry or exit and when your temporary address changes. Ask your host to confirm it was submitted. The host can use the Visa and Migration Portal or e-Qonaq; this is the host’s notification task, separate from your visa or entry permission.
Official guidance [3]Before and during your visit to Kazakhstan
Check the permitted stay on your issued e-Visa
The permitted stay depends on the visa category, so the general guidance does not give one duration for every e-Visa. Kazakhstan generally issues e-Visas for a single entry and does not extend them inside the country.
