Mozambican passport holders need an eVisa to travel to Kazakhstan. It's a single-entry permit valid for up to 30 days. Apply online before you travel — it usually takes a few days to process.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for a Kazakhstan eVisa at evisa.e-gov.kz/en/. The application takes about 15 minutes — upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport data page. Processing takes 3–5 business days, and the eVisa is sent by email as a PDF.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for intended stay | Your Mozambique passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Kazakhstan does not require 6 months validity beyond your stay — just cover your travel dates. Airlines may still ask for 6 months, so check with your carrier. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at Almaty and Nur-Sultan airports routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot ready on your phone. A booking within 30 days of arrival is safest. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Kazakhstan. Officers rarely ask, but if they do, you need a local address and contact number. Airbnb bookings are accepted. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or cash equivalent to at least $50 USD per day of your stay. Border officers almost never check this for eVisa holders, but it's a legal requirement. A credit card statement works too. | Recommended |
eVisa is single-entry only
The eVisa allows one entry into Kazakhstan. If you leave (even to a neighboring country), you'll need a new eVisa to re-enter.
Apply early — avoid last-minute stress
Processing can take up to 5 business days. Apply at least 10 days before your trip to account for any delays or document issues.
