Planning a trip to Kazakhstan? Heads up, there is a new electronic travel authorization called QazETA for eligible visa-exempt travelers, including Indian nationals.
From July 1, 2027, you will need to apply online at least 72 hours before you land if you are visiting visa-free.
For now, it is optional until June 30, 2027, while they test things out.
Indian Embassy in Astana issues reminders
The Indian Embassy in Astana is reminding Indian nationals to keep passports valid for over six months and always carry the original.
Looking for work? Make sure you have the right work visa: tourist visas and visa-free entry do not cut it.
Also, skip those sketchy job offers from unregistered agents on social media and use trusted transport apps like Yandex or inDrive.
If you are staying long-term, register with the embassy so they can help out in emergencies, and do not forget to respect local laws and customs!
