For those wanting to know what Kazakhstan is actually like, there has never been a better time to come. Keen to attract more visitors, the Kazakhstani authorities have progressively eased the red tape surrounding visits to the country. While visas are still required, visitors from many countries in western Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand no longer need letters of invitation (LOIs) to get a one-month single-entry tourist visa. And the previously irksome registration requirements have been eased considerably for short-term visitors, with the process now generally an automatic one.

A Kazakh visa is date-specific, meaning it starts at the date you specify on your Kazakhstan visa application form, not when you enter the country. Kazakh tourist visas cannot (legally) be extended. A 1-month Kazakhstan tourist visa is fairly simple to obtain for most travelers. For any other Kazakhstan visa, requirements can be more complicated.

Citizens of the following 47 countries are eligible for the simplified visa procedure (countries in bold are often left out in embassy lists):

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Ireland, Iceland, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and Northern Ireland, USA, United Arab Emirates.

Citizens of the following countries do not need visa to visit Kazakhstan:

Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova (90 days), Mongolia (90 days), Russian Federation, Serbia (30 days), Tajikistan, Turkey (30 days), Uzbekistan, Ukraine (90 days).

Kazakhstan single entry visa (30 days)

Make your Kazakhstan visa application at the embassy of Kazakhstan in your country. No letter of invitation is needed if you are a national of one of 47 countries with simplified visa procedure (see above). If you are not a national of one of these countries, you will need a letter of invitation (LOI).

The cost for a 1-month Kazakhstan tourist visa is around 35$, processing time 2-7 days. For Americans, prices have skyrocketed recently to more than 150$. It is valid for 30 days and cannot be extended, except for a limited period in emergency situations. Some nationals can travel visa-free for 1 month. If you make your Kazakhstan visa application outside your country of residence, check ‘embassy reports’.

Kazakhstan multiple entry visa (60 days)

A 2-month Kazakhstan multiple entry visa for tourists is only issued to nationals of one of 47 countries with simplified visa procedure. Cost is around 60$, processing time 3-7 days. Total duration of the visa is 60 days, and 2 entries are allowed. Duration of the stay cannot be more than 30 days on each entry, at which point you have to get out of the country, for however brief, before you can re-enter.

Kazakhstan multiple entry visa (90 days)

A 3-month Kazakhstan multiple entry visa for tourists is only issued to nationals of one of 47 countries with simplified visa procedure. Cost is around 60$, processing time 3-7 days. Total duration of the visa is 90 days, and 3 entries are allowed. Duration of the stay cannot be more than 30 days on each entry. When applying for your visa, you will need to show a letter of invitation from a tourist company.

Kazakhstan visa on arrival

It is possible to get a Kazakhstan single entry visa on arrival in the airports of Almaty and Astana. In theory it is only possible if you are a national of one of the 47 countries with simplified visa procedure.

The Kazakhstan visa on arrival is valid for 1 month and does not require additional registration with the Migration Police (OVIR) IF you get the two stamps at the border control. You will in any case need a special letter of invitation for visa on arrival from a tourist agency. This can only be issued 1 month in advance and is quite pricey. It is not possible to get a Kazakhstan visa on arrival at a land border, nor at Aktau sea port.
