Visa & Entry

Turkish passport holders enter Kazakhstan visa-free for up to 30 days per visit. The total stay cannot exceed 90 days within any 180-day period. No advance application is needed. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. You receive a stamp at immigration. Turkey and Kazakhstan share Turkic cultural and linguistic roots, and the visa exemption reflects the close bilateral relationship.

At Almaty (ALA) or Nursultan Nazarbayev (NQZ) airports, immigration is a quick passport stamp with no forms to fill out. For stays beyond 30 days, apply for a visa at the Kazakh Embassy in Ankara before departure. Registration with migration police is not required for stays under 30 days.

Turkish Airlines operates direct flights from Istanbul (IST) to Almaty in about 5 hours 30 minutes and to Astana in about 5 hours. Air Astana also flies both routes. Kazakhstan uses the Kazakhstani tenge (KZT), trading at roughly 14 KZT per TRY 1. Card payments work at shops and restaurants in Almaty and Astana. ATMs dispense tenge. Winter temperatures in both cities drop below minus 15 degrees Celsius in January. The Almaty metro has a single line with 11 stations and costs KZT 80 per ride.
