Kazakhstan allows visa-free entry for up to 30 days per visit for citizens of roughly 56 countries, including the United States, with a cumulative limit of 90 days in any 180-day period. Nationalities outside the visa-free list apply for a Kazakh e-visa, normally issued against an approved invitation from the Kazakh side.
Estimated cost: No visa fee applies to visa-free nationalities entering for up to 30 days. E-visa applicants should confirm current government and invitation costs on the official Kazakh visa portal.
Processing: No application is needed for visa-free nationalities. E-visa applicants should apply several weeks before travel, since the e-visa is issued against an approved Kazakh invitation processed through the migration service.
Carry a passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, keep your entry stamp and migration documentation with you, and stay within the 30-day-per-visit and 90-days-in-180 limits. Business visitors from other nationalities should secure an invitation before applying for the e-visa.
