Under the existing procedure of issuing visas of the Republic of Kazakhstan,
single entry business, single & double entry tourist and single entry private (up to one month) visas will be
issued to citizens of the countries listed below without an official invitation
arranged through Kazakhstan authorities (Ministry of Foreign Affairs / Ministry
of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan).
To obtain your visa to Kazakhstan you will need to submit the following documents:
The following guidelines need to be followed in order to satisfy the Kazakhstan Consulate before they will issue your visa: KAZAKH BUSINESS VISAIf you need a visa support document or your stay is longer than one month, it is necessary for your Kazakh partners to obtain an invitation via the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kazakhstan. Once their invitation is registered, the inviting party should send the same invitation with its registration number to you. Once the London Consulate has been sent details of your invitation from the authorities in Kazakhstan they will be in a position to process your application. Kazakhstan Travel Centre can obtain this invitation for you if necessary. Business visa applications must be supported by a letter from your UK employer detailing the purpose of your visit. KAZAKH TOURIST VISAIf you need a visa support document or your stay is longer than one month, confirmation of your accommodation from a Kazakhstan-based tour operator must be submitted with your application. Kazakhstan Travel Centre can obtain this for you, if necessary. An accompanying letter confirming an intended trip to Kazakhstan is required. The letter should contain dates of travel and accommodation details. KAZAKH PRIVATE VISAIf you need a visa support document or your stay is longer than one month, an invitation for a private visa is obtained by the Kazakhstan national through their local Interior Ministry office. The original of this document must be sent to the invited party in order to support their visa application. Foreign citizens born in Kazakhstan or relatives (spouses, children and parents) of Kazakhstan passport holders may apply for a 1 month visa without obtaining the invitation letter (maximum twice a year). Please note that private visas can be only for single entry. An accompanying letter confirming an intended trip to Kazakhstan is required. The letter should contain dates of travel and accommodation details. KAZAKH TRANSIT VISATransit visas can be issued provided you are holding valid visas for a third country and air/rail tickets to that country. The transit visas can be issued as a single entry for a period up to 5 days. An accompanying letter confirming an intended trip to Kazakhstan is required. The letter should contain dates of travel and accommodation details. LODGING YOUR KAZAKH VISA APPLICATION AT THE KAZAKH CONSULATEVisa applications are lodged at the Kazakh Consulate between 0930-1200 hours Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, except UK and Kazakh public holidays. Urgent (same day & next day) applications are occasionally possible by special arrangement. All applications will be lodged at the Consulate the day following delivery to our office. WHEN WILL MY KAZAKH VISA BE READY?Your passport & visa will be ready after 1200 hours in 4 working days upon lodging.
