About the Kazakhstan visa

Kazakhstan offers the modern capital Astana, mountain city Almaty, Charyn Canyon and the Kolsai lakes. It has become an easy, short-flight destination from India.

Kazakhstan has offered Indian citizens visa-free stays of up to 14 days. For longer trips or other purposes, an e-Visa is available for tourism and business, usually based on an invitation or tour booking. Check the current visa-free rules before you travel.

Accommodation requirement

Conditional

Conditional

A hotel booking may be replaced by an invitation, sponsor or host address, or may depend on the visa category.

When accommodation proof is needed, a refundable hotel booking is generally safer than a non-refundable booking.

Required documents

  • Photograph: Recent passport-size colour photo on a plain white background, as a digital file.
  • Flights: Confirmed return or onward ticket showing your dates into and out of Kazakhstan.
  • Accommodation: Hotel booking, tour voucher or your host's address and contact details in Kazakhstan.
  • Invitation or tour voucher: An invitation from a Kazakh host or company, or a booking with a tour operator, for the e-Visa.

The exact document checklist for Kazakhstan is set by its immigration authorities and can change. Contact VisaAdvisory for guidance specific to your trip, and verify on the official immigration or visa portal before payment or travel.
