Guide last updated October 24, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry
  • Confirmed return or onward ticket
  • Proof of accommodation for the stay
  • Evidence of sufficient funds (rarely checked but good to carry)
  • Migration card, usually completed on arrival for stays requiring registration
  • No visa application or biometrics required for the visa-free entry
  • Travel insurance is recommended for the duration of the stay

Visa types

  • Visa-exempt short stay - tourism or business, up to 14 days, free of charge, no application needed
  • eVisa (via vmp.gov.kz) - for stays or purposes beyond the 14-day exemption, single or multiple entry depending on category
  • Standard visa through an embassy - required for work, study, or stays longer than the visa-free allowance

Entry conditions

  • Hong Kong SAR passport holders may stay in Kazakhstan for up to 14 days without a visa, for tourism or short business trips
  • Stays longer than 5 working days may require registration with the local migration authority, depending on current rules - check on arrival
  • No paid work is permitted under the visa-free entry
  • The 14-day period cannot be extended; travellers needing longer must apply for an eVisa or standard visa before the exemption expires
  • Overstaying can result in fines and complications for future entry to Kazakhstan

Fees & processing time

  • Visa-exempt entry: free, processed at the border on arrival, typically a few minutes
  • eVisa applications through vmp.gov.kz: fee and processing time vary by category, generally a few business days
  • No visa fee applies for the basic 14-day visa-free stay

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Register with the local migration authority promptly if your stay exceeds the threshold that requires it, as rules on this can change
  • Keep your entry stamp and migration card (if issued) safe, as they may be checked on departure
  • If your trip may run longer than 14 days, apply for an eVisa in advance rather than risk overstaying
  • Carry small amounts of local currency (tenge) for incidental fees, as not all services accept cards outside major cities
  • Double check current border requirements before travel, as Central Asian visa-free allowances are periodically revised
