What about citizens of other countries?

Citizens of countries not listed above require a visa to enter Kazakhstan, which can be obtained through the consular offices of the Republic of Kazakhstan with the provision of an official invitation. For those countries without official diplomatic representation of Kazakhstan, a visa can be obtained upon arrival at an airport with consular services, provided they have an invitation.

Jordanian citizens do not require an invitation, and their single-entry tourist visa is issued through a personal application to the Consulate of Kazakhstan.

Welcome.kz, as a tour operator, offers invitation services for a single-entry tourist visa B12 as part of a comprehensive tourist package. The cost of visa support is 50 USD per person. However, if the visa is not approved by the migration police, the fee for visa support will not be refunded.

All required documents for visa support must be submitted to the migration police at least 15 days prior to the planned date of entry into Kazakhstan.

The 90/180 Rule

On January 27, 2023, the regulations regarding the stay of foreigners in Kazakhstan were updated. The new rules state that foreigners who do not require a visa to enter Kazakhstan are allowed to stay in the country for up to 30 days, with the total duration of their stay not exceeding 90 days within a 180-day period (or six months). On the other hand, citizens of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) are permitted to stay in Kazakhstan for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It is worth noting that a foreigner who has already spent 90 days in Kazakhstan cannot visit the country again until three months have passed, as the duration of stay is not "reset" when crossing the border. Therefore, it is essential to keep track of the number of days spent in the country to avoid any issues with the immigration authorities.
