Kazakhstan Travel Forum

Hello,
I Am an Australian citizen travelling around Europe. I have decided that I would like to visit Kazakhstan. Do I need a visa to enter Kazakhstan (I will only be there for a weekend or so). If I do need a visa can I apply for this outside of Australia?
Any other relevant information on this subject would be greatly appreciated too. For example; links to visa information, past experiences etc etc.

Thanks in advance.
Michael.

Yes you need a tourist visa, and for residents of Australia the relevant Kazakhstan embassy is in Singapore: Embassy of the Republic of Kazahkstan, Raffles Place #14-06 Ocean Towers Singapore 048620, Tel: (65) 6536 6100 Fax: (65) 6438 8990 Email : office@kazakhstan.org.sg.
For Kazkhastan embassies in Europe, see http://www.embassyworld.com/embassy/Kazakhstan/Kazakhstan3.html but be aware that it can be more difficult/expensive to get a visa when you are not resident in the country in which you apply.

ya.. u need visa but they made easy requirements for Western countries... now, they do not require an invitation letter from ur sponsor as they did be4. just passport, 2 pix and u filling a form in the consulate, and i submitted a reference letter from my work place too. check projectvisa.com, click on country u desire and then on its homepage u'll find a link for the government official website. check it!
