An electronic visa to Kazakhstan is now available in three different categories - business, tourist and medical - for citizens from many different nations.
The electronic visa allows foreigners to enter and exit the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan only at the international airports in Nur-Sultan (Astana) and Almaty.
Everyone must apply for his or her own electronic visa; the e-visa is valid only for the visa recipient and does not apply to accompanying persons. Paid consular fees are non-refundable.
