Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Peruvian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Kazakhstan. Apply at the official eVisa portal at least 5 working days before departure. The eVisa is single-entry and valid for up to 30 days.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay in Kazakhstan. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Kazakh law, but airlines may enforce 6 months — 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 or digital copy ready showing your exit from Kazakhstan within the eVisa validity. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Kazakhstan. Border officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or card | Have evidence of at least $50 USD per day for your stay — a bank statement or credit card works. Officers rarely check this, but it can come up if you look under-resourced. | Recommended |
Airlines may enforce 6-month passport validity
Kazakh law doesn't require 6 months validity beyond your stay, but many airlines do. If your passport expires sooner, you might be denied boarding. Check with your carrier before booking.
eVisa is single-entry only
The eVisa allows one entry. If you leave Kazakhstan (even to a neighboring country), you'll need a new visa to re-enter. For multiple visits, consider a multiple-entry tourist visa (~$150 USD, valid 6 months).
Travel insurance with medical evacuation is strongly advised
Medical care in major cities is adequate but expensive. Rural areas may lack quality care. A hospital stay can cost hundreds per day. Insurance with evacuation coverage protects you from huge bills.
