Key Information
Key Requirements
- Indian ordinary passport and a visit within the visa-free limits: up to 14 days per visit and 42 days total in each 180-day period
- Visa-free visits cover tourism, private visits and business visits; employment requires the appropriate permission
- For a B12 tourist eVisa, obtain an approved invitation number from your Kazakhstan host before applying
- Passport validity needs route-specific confirmation: official visa guidance differs between three and six months beyond visa expiry; do not treat either as a verified universal visa-free rule
Step-by-Step Application Process
- 1
Check your previous Kazakhstan stays and plan departure within both the 14-day visit limit and the 42-day cumulative limit
- 2
Check the current QazETA phase before departure: the embassy describes ETA as recommended during the pilot, with later mandatory rollout planned
- 3
For a longer tourist visit, arrange the correct visa before travel; the B12 eVisa needs an approved host invitation, an online application and payment
- 4
If using an eVisa, print the approval and use an international-airport border checkpoint; confirm your exact airport before booking
- 5
Ask your hotel or host to notify the migration authorities within three working days of arrival
Documents Required
- Valid Indian passport; confirm the applicable remaining-validity rule with the embassy and airline for your route
- For eVisa applicants: approved invitation number, passport details, online application and consular-fee payment
- For eVisa travel: printed eVisa matching the passport; official visa guidance also requires at least two blank passport pages
- Host contact, accommodation details and onward plans are useful supporting records; requirements can depend on the route and individual checks
Pro Tips
- Count days across all recent visits, not just the next trip; leaving does not reset the 42-day allowance
- A hotel reservation is not a substitute for the approved invitation number required by the eVisa process
- Keep your host contact and departure plans available as practical preparation; this is not a claim that every booking is a universal statutory entry document
- Confirm that your host has submitted the arrival notification, including when you change your place of stay
Important Notes
- • The cumulative visa-free allowance is 42 days in 180 days, not a fixed entitlement to three entries
- • A single-entry B12 tourist visa can be valid for up to 90 days but permits a stay of no more than 30 days; follow the dates and stay on your issued visa
- • An eVisa is individual, does not cover accompanying travellers and must be reissued if the passport changes
- • Current government guidance describes international-airport checkpoints for eVisa entry and exit; older pages name only Astana and Almaty
- • QazETA rollout remains a check-before-travel item: official notices contain inconsistent mandatory wording and no pilot end date was established in this review
- • Passport validity is unresolved across official eVisa pages: the embassy and visa rules say three months beyond visa expiry, while the government eVisa guide says six months

Best Time to Apply
No visa application for an eligible visa-free visit; check QazETA rollout before travel and allow time for invitation approval if applying for a longer-stay visa
