Private Visas

Kazakhstan private visas are issued to foreign citizens (including U.S.) who previously been citizens or residents of Kazakhstan.

Specific Requirements for Former Kazakhstan Citizens

Whenever a visa applicant indicates his/her place of birth in Kazakhstan, a Loss of Kazakhstan Citizenship Certificate would need to be produced alongside the visa application package, or he/she would need to provide documentary evidence that no Kazakhstan citizenship was ever acquired. In any case, during the visa approval process, a citizenship database search would be conducted to determine if the applicant in question may still be in possession of Kazakhstan passport. Kazakhstan does not allow dual citizenships, and upon acquring foreign citizenship, a formal procedure must have been followed to register loss of Kazakhstan citizenship. Certain other qualification criteria may actually lead to involuntary loss or voluntary renunciation of Kazakhstan citizenship.

A private visa is generally provided to former Kazakhstan citizens and visitors who plan to stay in Kazakhstan up to 90 days (number of entries is not limited, total duration of stay in Kazakhstan is 6 month per year) and who have received a copy of written invitation letter to visit Kazakhstan from a Kazakhstani citizen. A private visa is appropriate, for example, if an American citizen is invited by relatives living in Kazakhstan.
