Check before you travel
- MFA table (gov.kz article 6764, updated 21 August 2026) was read via a text extractor; Austria's row contains 'from 1st of May, 2026' and its ordinary passport value is ambiguous (30 days, possibly changed to 90 days from 1 May 2026).
- Qatar does not appear in the MFA table; listed under e-visa from the 2019 list. Check before travel.
- Mauritius 'visa on the arrival' per MFA table; unusual, not confirmed elsewhere.
- e-Visa country list is the official 2019 list (gov.kz PDF); the current list on vmp.gov.kz was not readable. Fees USD 60 / 80 from official MFA embassy pages via search, not re-read.
- General 30 day per entry / 90 in 180 rule for the unilateral list is from gov.kz MFA statements, not printed in the table itself.
