No, the eVisa is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave and reapply. Maximum stay is 30 days per entry.
If you stay more than 5 days, yes. Hotels do this for you automatically. If you're in a private apartment, you must go to the local migration police office within 5 days of arrival. Your host should help with this.
You will be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at the border. Renew your passport before applying for the eVisa.
Yes, the eVisa is valid for entry at all international border crossings, including land borders from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia. But most travellers fly into Almaty or Nur-Sultan.
Report it immediately to the local police and your embassy (Myanmar embassy is in Nur-Sultan). You'll need a police report and a temporary travel document from your embassy to leave.
Not for the eVisa application or entry, but it's strongly recommended. Medical costs in Kazakhstan can be high — a simple hospital visit can cost $200–$500. Get a policy that covers medical evacuation.
