Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day visa-free hotel holiday: Ordinary Indian passport: fourteen-day visit and forty-two-day aggregate limit | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The Kazakhstan Embassy in India expressly applies the waiver to business, private and tourist purposes. Keep each continuous visit within fourteen calendar days from border crossing and the total within forty-two days in every 180-day period. This scope has no earlier Kazakhstan stay in the preceding 180 days, so it does not assume a fresh allowance after repeated exits. Longer intended trips require the appropriate visa before entry; a visa-free trip is not automatically extendable. |
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day visa-free hotel holiday: Valid machine-readable original passport; confirm residual validity | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Carry the genuine ordinary Indian passport used for travel, valid for the whole itinerary, with usable stamp space and no invalidity/ownership defects. The June 2026 Kazakhstan national notice rejects passport validity extended by endorsements, stamps, inserts or handwritten alterations. This conservative preparation scope uses at least six months remaining on the planned arrival date, but six months is NOT presented as an established universal Kazakhstan visa-free legal minimum. Confirm the actual border and airline requirement; the numeric visa-free residual-validity anchor was not established. The three-month buffer beyond visa expiry belongs to the visa branch and is not imported. |
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day visa-free hotel holiday: QazETA transition: voluntary now, mandatory from July 2027 | recommended | visa application | Example from this named route only. The actual 10 October 2026 Decree 890 and 21 October mission notice describe a phased rollout:1 November 2026 at Aktau Airport and Urlyutobe,Aukhatty,Atameken,Nurly Zhol road points;1 January 2027 at Astana/Almaty airports;1 March 2027 elsewhere. During the transition through 30 June 2027, ETA is voluntary/recommended and its absence alone is not grounds to refuse entry. Mandatory use is scheduled from 1 July 2027, subject to applicable exemptions. Do not claim the earlier August legal changes or November rollout make ETA universally mandatory on 26 October 2026. Recheck the travel-date rule. |
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day visa-free hotel holiday: If obtaining ETA, apply at least 72 hours before entry; no state fee | recommended | visa application | Example from this named route only. Follow the official QazETA platform guidance, use the same valid passport and accurate actual journey details, and apply at least 72 hours before intended entry where filing. The announced authorization is free (KZT 0) and valid 180 calendar days; it does not extend India's fourteen-day visit or forty-two-day aggregate allowance and does not guarantee admission. This is a different process from an invitation-backed eVisa. The full personalised mobile/app sequence was not entered or tested. |
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day visa-free hotel holiday: Hotel must notify migration services within three working days | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The hotel/receiving party must notify migration services within three working days of arrival, regardless of visa-free entry, and follow notification rules when the temporary address changes. Provide accurate passport/arrival/address/purpose details and obtain confirmation that the hotel filed it. The national eGov guidance says the foreign visitor need not personally apply to migration services for this notice. It is not a five-day visitor-registration exemption or permission to overstay. |
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day visa-free hotel holiday: Clear passport copy, actual stay address and purpose for host notification | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Supply the clear passport copy and accurate planned address/purpose needed for the hotel's actual notification. The separately dated August 2024 filing guide uses three-months-after-registration passport wording; its relationship to present visa-free notification needs confirmation and is not relabelled a universal arrival/departure minimum. This scope already uses a passport with at least six months remaining on the planned arrival date as a conservative preparation choice. Keep the actual hotel confirmation of filing. |
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day visa-free hotel holiday: Genuine return/onward itinerary, hotel and purpose evidence if requested | conditional | visa application | Example from this named route only. Keep the return/onward booking, genuine hotel details and actual short-visit purpose evidence available for carrier or border questions, with dates inside the allowed stay. This is conditional preparation, not a claimed universal prepaid-ticket rule, notarised hotel letter, bank-history period or consular application packet. A hotel booking does not guarantee admission. |
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day visa-free hotel holiday: Prepare adequate trip funds and suitable travel insurance | recommended | visa application | Example from this named route only. Arrange funds for the genuine trip and suitable insurance covering Kazakhstan and the actual activities. These are recommended preparations in this guide: a universal mandatory visa-free policy minimum, bank balance, bank-history period, ITR/payslip packet or authenticated sponsor guarantee was not established by the cited India waiver. Follow actual authority requests; do not import a medical eVisa or Schengen insurance requirement. |
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day visa-free hotel holiday: Confirm any actual language or authentication request | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. This visa-free entry scope has no established universal translation/notarisation/apostille packet. If additional evidence is requested, confirm acceptable languages and processing with the receiving authority before commissioning it. No paid translation, notarisation, apostille or consular-processing service is selected automatically. |
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day visa-free hotel holiday: Keep the visit within its stated ordinary visitor purpose | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The waiver is not authority to take employment, provide paid services, run a business as a resident, study long term or carry out regulated religious/missionary activity. This guide excludes medical treatment and conference-specific waiver interpretations that are not independently settled here. Use the actual purpose and obtain the appropriate visa/permission for a different regulated activity. |
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day friend visit with hotel stay: Ordinary Indian passport: fourteen-day visit and forty-two-day aggregate limit | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The Kazakhstan Embassy in India expressly applies the waiver to business, private and tourist purposes. Keep each continuous visit within fourteen calendar days from border crossing and the total within forty-two days in every 180-day period. This scope has no earlier Kazakhstan stay in the preceding 180 days, so it does not assume a fresh allowance after repeated exits. Longer intended trips require the appropriate visa before entry; a visa-free trip is not automatically extendable. |
| India to Kazakhstan: fourteen-day friend visit with hotel stay: Keep genuine friend-contact and visit details | conditional | visa application | Example from this named route only. Use truthful friend identity/contact, itinerary and hotel details if asked to explain the private visit. The national India announcement expressly includes private purposes. No universal notarised personal invitation, kinship certificate, host-income history or formal visa sponsorship is imposed by that waiver announcement; confirm any actual evidence request. |

The official host-notification instruction, updated 5 August 2024, lists a clear passport copy, planned address and purpose. Its older passport-three-months-after-registration wording does not establish a general visa-free arrival/departure minimum; confirm host filing requirements rather than treating notification as a longer stay permission.
