How to get a Kazakhstan visa for foreigners
A Kazakhstan visa for foreigners is not needed by everyone: citizens of many countries enter visa-free for a limited period. But if the purpose of the trip is work, study, business or a long visit, a visa is a must. SSS Consult in Almaty helps you choose the right type, collect the documents and complete the visa application without refusals due to formal errors.
Types of visas
The visa type is determined by the purpose of the trip. There are tourist and guest visas, business, student and work visas, as well as visas for medical treatment and private trips. An electronic visa is available for some categories. Work visas, such as C3 and C5, are related to employment and business, and we cover them on a separate page.
- Business visa: for negotiations, business trips and meetings with partners.
- Private or guest visa: for visiting relatives and friends.
- Student visa: for students of Kazakhstan universities.
- Work visa: for foreign specialists and entrepreneurs.
Do you need an invitation
Many visa types require an invitation from a host party in Kazakhstan: a company, a university or a private individual. We help with the invitation and make sure its details match your passport.
Visa extension in Kazakhstan
If your plans change while you are already in the country, the visa can be extended when there are grounds. The extension is usually processed on the petition of the host party before the current visa expires. Being late is not an option: overstaying leads to administrative liability for both the foreigner and the host party. We check the deadlines in advance and prepare the extension application.
We will also tell you when a visa is no longer suitable and it makes more sense to apply for a temporary residence permit.
