Do I need a register my passport after arrival at the migration police?

  • Since January 11, 2020, foreign nationals are exempted from the mandatory passport registration procedure in the Migration Authority if they stay for a period not exceeding 30 calendar days. 
  • However, some countries  are not exempt from  registration, for more detailed information go to Notification and registration;
  • The host party in Kazakhstan (i.e. legal entities, individuals, hotels, landlords, etc.) is obliged to notify the Migration Authority on arrival of a foreign national (visa holder, visa-free visitor) within 3 business days at each entry to the country.

Please make sure that the required notification is submitted correctly by the host party to avoid troubles at the Border Control when leaving the country.
