➡ VisaFree Entry

In 2022, Kazakhstan authorities introduced visafree entry for citizens of India, China, and Iran. Within this regime, you can stay in Kazakhstan for up to 14 days continuously.

The maximum duration that a visitor can stay in Kazakhstan is 42 days in every 180day period. How is this counted? From the first day of your first visit.

So, if you are visiting Kazakhstan on 10th July, then the 180day period starts from 10th July. Now, in these 6 months, you can only stay a total of 42 days, and each stay should be up to 14 days.
