Citizens whose country does not have a visa-free entry regime with the Republic of Kazakhstan require an invitation letter from Migration Service of Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan.

The visa process takes about 5 business days from the moment the Consular Section receives the documents. Student visa applications must be submitted in-person or using a third party . Applications are not accepted by mail.

We have three Consular Sections in the United States. Please see state  allocation.
