    Kazakhstan: 14-day ordinary-passport visa exemption

    The MFA’s current N (ordinary-passport) column expressly records these 14-day visa-free visitor entries.

    • The N-column stay limit is 14 days. This is a short-visitor visa exemption, not an eVisa, ETA, residence or work authorization.
    • A receiving individual, hotel representative or housing owner must notify migration service of arrival within three working days; notification is not entry authorization and does not extend stay.
    • The result excludes diplomatic, service/official, special-document, transit, crew, longer-stay, employment, security and individual-admissibility rules.

    Kazakhstan: Barbados ordinary-passport 28-day visa exemption

    The MFA’s current N column expressly records Barbados ordinary-passport visa-free entry for up to 28 days.

    • The N-column stay limit is 28 days. It does not establish an eVisa, ETA, residence or work right.
    • A receiving individual, hotel representative or housing owner must notify migration service of arrival within three working days; notification is not entry authorization and does not extend stay.
    • Diplomatic, service/official, special-document, transit, crew, longer-stay, security and individual-admissibility rules remain outside this ordinary-passport visitor result.

    Kazakhstan: ordinary-passport 90-day visa exemptions

    The MFA’s current N column expressly records these ordinary-passport visa-free entries for up to 90 days.

    • The N-column limit is 90 days; for AZ and AM it expressly says 90 days within 180 days. The live table gives no wider ordinary-passport visitor right here.
    • A receiving individual, hotel representative or housing owner must notify migration service of arrival within three working days; notification is not entry authorization and does not extend stay.
    • This excludes work, residence, study, transit, crew, diplomatic, service/official, special-document, security and individual-admissibility treatment.

    Kazakhstan: ordinary-passport 30-day visa exemptions

    The MFA’s current N column expressly records these ordinary-passport visa-free visitor entries for up to 30 days.

    • The N-column stay limit is 30 days. This is a visa exemption for ordinary passport visitors, not an ETA or a general residence/work permission.
    • A receiving individual, hotel representative or housing owner must notify migration service of arrival within three working days; notification is not entry authorization and does not extend stay.
    • It excludes diplomatic, service/official, special-document, transit, crew, extension, employment, security and individual-admissibility rules.

  6. Current official routeeVisa

    Kazakhstan: named ordinary passports eligible for tourist eVisa

    The current MFA eVisa list positively names these nationalities; after applying the easier ordinary-passport visa-free and Mauritian arrival-visa routes, their baseline visitor route is tourist eVisa.

    • The current 2026 detailed list has 104 numbered entries. After catalog mapping and its PRC row’s CN/HK/MO/TW coverage, it covers 105 catalog codes; 15 have a better N visa-free or Mauritian arrival-visa route, leaving 90 in this policy. The generic eVisa page says 105 states but supplies no current nationality detail, so the detailed list controls scope.
    • Tourist B12 eVisa is single-entry, valid up to 90 days with stay up to 30 days, requires a Kazakhstan-side invitation approved through migration service, online VMP application, payment and a printed eVisa.
    • The MFA page limits eVisa entry/exit to the named international-airport checkpoints (its current text says Nur-Sultan and Almaty); the source’s city nomenclature is retained. It is non-extendable and does not establish work, residence, transit, crew, diplomatic/official or admission rights.
    • The 2024 government page describes a three-working-day host-arrival notification, while the eVisa page says eVisa holders are exempt from migration registration. Neither text makes notification an ETA or visa authorization; their administrative relationship is not normalized as an eVisa-holder entry condition.

  7. Current official routeVisa on arrival

    Kazakhstan: Mauritius ordinary-passport visa on arrival

    The MFA’s current N column expressly lists Mauritius as visa on arrival, which is the easiest supported ordinary-passport visitor route.

    • The current MFA ordinary-passport table says visa on arrival. The separate eVisa nationality list also names Mauritius, but it is not the easier baseline route.
    • The table does not state a visitor duration, port, fee, purpose or documentary criteria; none is inferred here.
    • A receiving individual, hotel representative or housing owner must notify migration service within three working days of arrival; notification is not entry authorization and does not extend stay.

    Kazakhstan: named ordinary passports marked visa in current MFA schedule

    The current MFA N column expressly marks these ordinary-passport nationalities as visa; they are not listed in the current electronic-visa list, so this candidate records an advance visa requirement rather than inferring an electronic route.

    • This is limited to the schedule’s N ordinary-passport entries marked visa; the source does not itself specify the visitor visa category, duration, fee, invitation, port or processing path.
    • It excludes diplomatic, service/official, special-document, residence, work, transit, crew, security and individual-admissibility exceptions.
    • A receiving individual, hotel representative or housing owner must notify migration service within three working days of arrival; notification is not a substitute for the required visa.

  9. Current official routeCitizenship

    Kazakhstan: citizen right of return

    Kazakhstan’s Constitution directly guarantees citizens’ right to return freely to the Republic.

    • This normalizes the constitutional citizen right of return only; it is not a foreign-visitor visa exemption.
    • The source does not establish treatment for foreign, diplomatic, service/official or special travel documents.

    Swedish ordinary passports: named visa-free short visits

    Current Sweden Abroad guidance establishes visa-free short visitor stays for Swedish citizens in Kazakhstan, Nicaragua and Ukraine.

    • KZ: up to 30 days. NI: shorter than 90 days. UA: up to 90 days in a 180-day period.
    • NI's electronic entry form is an entry form, not an ETA or visa. KZ border-zone permits, Ukraine's security situation, and all work, residence, special-passport, carrier and final-admission conditions remain separate.

    Qatari ordinary passports: Kazakhstan short-visit visa exemption

    Kazakhstan MFA's current passport-type table lists Qatari ordinary passports as visa-free for up to 30 days.

    • Ordinary Qatari passport holder, visa-free stay of up to 30 days under the current Kazakhstan MFA table.
    • Work, residence, longer stays, diplomatic, service/official and other special-document routes remain separate.

  12. Current official routeVisa required

    Palestinian ordinary passports: 2026 advance-visa visitor cohort

    The State of Palestine's current ordinary-passport schedule labels this exact destination cohort "Visa is required" and separately labels electronic and arrival-issued routes elsewhere in the same schedule. It is normalized as advance visa required.

    • This is the Ministry's ordinary-passport short-visitor baseline. The source separately labels eVisa and visa-on-arrival rows, so a bare "Visa is required" row is not recast as either route.
    • Georgia and Panama have separately stated waivers for holders of specified third-country visas. Those conditional document routes are excluded from this passport-only baseline.
    • Mission availability, passport recognition, individual admission, route, transit, work, residence, diplomatic, official, service and other special-document treatment are outside this policy.
