Kazakhstan Visa

Do I Need a Visa for Kazakhstan?

Most travelers require a visa to visit Kazakhstan, with one exception. US citizens may visit Kazakhstan without a visa for tourist trips that last less than 15 days. Longer trips and trips for missionary work or business, however, require a visa that must be obtained through the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Washington, DC. Visas to Kazakhstan are typically valid for five years and permit multiple entries into the country. Each stay, however, must last for no more than 30 days. If travelers violate the permitted period of stay or engage in activities that are not consistent with their visa class, they may be subject to fines, imprisonment, and lengthy delays upon exit. Be sure to avoid such problems by working with a travel document expert to make sure you have the proper documents before your trip.
