According to the Border Service, visa-free regime was previously suspended by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan until December 31, 2021. Therefore, the regime has been resumed since January, 1 2022.
However, it is important to note that foreigners still need a permission from the Interdepartmental Commission to enter the country.
The exception is for citizens of countries that have resumed direct regular flights with Kazakhstan. The exception does not apply for foreigners arriving to Kazakhstan by land transport (railway, auto), whereby a permit from the Interdepartmental Commission will be required.
The Interdepartmental Commission made the decision to cancel requirements due to the stabilization of the epidemiological situation in the country and worldwide.
The work of temporarily closed vehicle checkpoints on certain sections of the state border of Kazakhstan in seven regions has also been lifted.
