How do I get a Kazakhstan visa from Nigeria?

Your host in Kazakhstan registers an invitation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then you apply at a Kazakh mission. Nigeria is not on the e-Visa list. We could not confirm which mission covers Nigeria, so ask the Foreign Ministry first.

How much is a Kazakhstan visa from Nigeria?

A tourist visa costs USD 60 for single entry and USD 90 for multiple entry, in the edition of 21.07.2025. Other single-entry visas are USD 80.

Is Kazakhstan visa free for Moroccans?

Yes. Under the agreement in force since 19.03.2025, each stay can last up to 30 days within 180 days. As of 05.11.2026 Moroccans should also file a free ETA.

Can an Egyptian enter Kazakhstan overland on an e-Visa?

No. An e-Visa allows entry and exit only through international airports, and Astana and Almaty are the safe picks.

Kazakhstan visa for Egyptian and Nigerian citizens

African passports fall into three groups: Morocco has 30 days visa free, Egypt and South Africa can use an e-Visa, and Nigeria and Ghana need a mission.

An Egyptian or South African needs an e-Visa with an invitation for a tourist stay of up to 30 days, a Moroccan gets 30 days visa free, and a Nigerian or Ghanaian has to go through a Kazakh mission. That is the position as of 05.11.2026, from the Foreign Ministry table of 21.08.2026, annex 11 of the Visa Rules, and Decree No 148 as amended by Decree No 890 of 10.10.2026. Rules change, so confirm with a Kazakh mission and qazeta.kz. This site is not a visa centre and issues no visas.

The five passports people ask about

Passport	Regime	Tourist stay	Next step	Fee, USD
Morocco	Visa free	30 days per stay, within 180	File ETA	0
Egypt	e-Visa with invitation, or mission	Up to 30 days	Invitation, then vmp.gov.kz	60
South Africa	e-Visa with invitation, or mission	Up to 30 days	Invitation, then vmp.gov.kz	60
Nigeria	Visa at a mission	Up to 30 days on B12	Invitation, then mission	60 or 90
Ghana	Visa at a mission	Up to 30 days on B12	Invitation, then mission	60 or 90

Fees follow the edition of 21.07.2025, so how much a Kazakhstan visa from Nigeria costs is USD 60 or 90 for a tourist. Business and medical e-Visas cost USD 80.

Every African passport, by regime

Regime	Countries
Visa free, 30 days	Morocco; Seychelles (also on the e-Visa annex, sources differ, so ask a mission)
e-Visa with invitation	Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Republic of the Congo, Cote d’Ivoire, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe
e-Visa or airport visa, sources differ	Mauritius: annex 11 lists an e-Visa, the Foreign Ministry table says visa on arrival. Ask a mission
Mission only	Cape Verde, DR Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Libya, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan

So the answer depends on the passport. If your country is missing from this table, we could not confirm it. Use the passport checker or ask a mission.

Kazakhstan visa Morocco: the 30-day exception

Anyone searching for a Kazakhstan visa Maroc can stop here: Morocco is the one large exception on this page. The agreement took effect on 19.03.2025 and allows each stay of up to 30 days within 180. Annex 11 still lists Morocco on the e-Visa list, which is a leftover: you do not need one for this kind of stay. Kazinform words the period as every 6 months, so the cautious reading is one 30-day stay per half-year. A free ETA, filed 72 hours ahead on qazeta.kz, becomes a condition for entry on 1 July 2027.

Kazakhstan visa from Nigeria, and for Ghanaians: mission only

Nigeria and Ghana are not on annex 11. How to get a Kazakhstan visa from Nigeria comes down to one route, and a Kazakhstan visa for Ghanaians works the same way. Older mission pages and agencies may still describe an online e-Visa for these passports. As of 05.11.2026 that route is closed, and the e-Visa fee is non-refundable.

Kazakhstan visa requirements for Nigeria and Ghana start with an invitation number from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, plus the application form, a 3.5 x 4.5 cm photo, your passport, the original fee receipt and any documents for your category. Then:

Ask your host to register the invitation.
Find the mission. If you live in another country with residence, work or study, you can apply there.
Attend in person: fingerprints are taken from age 16.
Allow up to 5 working days, and up to 30 if security clearance runs on. Keep your tickets changeable.

Not verified yet The consular district for Nigeria and Ghana. Mission pages we tried on gov.kz were empty, so we could not confirm where to apply from Lagos, Abuja or Accra. Paragraph 31 of the Visa Rules also provides airport visas for citizens of countries with no Kazakh consulate, and we could not confirm whether that covers these two. Ask the Foreign Ministry through gov.kz or the nearest Kazakh mission.

Kazakhstan visa for Egyptian and South African citizens: e-Visa steps

Egypt is item 32 and South Africa item 67 on annex 11, so both can apply online, but only with an invitation. A mission is the alternative for a Kazakhstan visa for South Africa or Egypt.

Get the invitation number from your host: a person, company, tour firm or hotel with the right to invite.
Apply on vmp.gov.kz or in the QazETA app. The Visa Rules give 1 working day; the portal says 5, so do not cut it fine.
Fly in and out through an international airport. Plan for Astana or Almaty, since the Foreign Ministry page and the portal name only these two.
Check the name and number match your passport, because a mismatch voids the visa.

Kazakhstan visa requirements for South African citizens are the same as for Egyptians: B12 for tourism, single entry, up to 30 days.

What sets African passports apart

The list is not regional, so neighbours often differ, as with Morocco and Algeria, or Ghana and Togo. Most countries here rely on an invitation, so a tourist needs a host before anything else.

Overstays run from a warning to 25 MCI or removal after 10 days, and removal carries a 5-year entry ban. See the main visa page for details, and registration for your host’s duties.
