Kazakhstani visa resources
Documents you need for a Kazakhstan visa
Most applications require a valid passport, a completed application, a photo and category-specific supporting documents such as an invitation, work permit, enrolment letter or proof of funds.
Important
Core documents for almost every category are a passport valid for the intended stay, a completed application form, and a passport-style photograph. E-Visa applicants upload these online and, for business and medical categories, an invitation from the Kazakhstani side.
Category-specific documents vary: work visas require the employer's permit to attract foreign labour; study visas require an invitation or enrolment confirmation from the educational institution; family reunification requires proof of the relationship and of the sponsor's status in Kazakhstan; investor and business categories require evidence of the investment or company. Long-stay arrivals also complete registration and biometric (dactyloscopic) registration and obtain an IIN.
