Kazakhstan visa for Bangladeshi citizens: no e-Visa, plan on an embassy
Bangladesh has 0 visa-free days and is off the current e-Visa list, although a 2023 embassy page still names it. Plan on a mission and an invitation.
Verified: 2026-11

Bangladeshi citizens have 0 visa-free days in Kazakhstan and, as of 05.11.2026, cannot use an e-Visa, so plan on a visa from a Kazakh mission with a registered invitation. Three sources underpin that: the Foreign Ministry table of 21.08.2026, annex 11 of the Visa Rules as changed in February 2026, and Decree No 148 as amended by Decree No 890 of 10.10.2026. Rules change, so confirm with the mission and qazeta.kz. We issue no visas and are not a visa centre.
The old Kazakhstan visa Bangladesh e-Visa claim
Bangladesh used to appear on the e-Visa list. The page of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Malaysia dated 08.11.2023 still names it. That page is simply old. The current annex 11 no longer contains Bangladesh, and the current rule governs what happens when you file.
| Claim you may read | Status as of 05.11.2026 |
|---|---|
| Bangladesh is on the e-Visa list | Out of date. Not on annex 11 |
| You can apply through a website with no mission | No, unless the rule changes |
| Someone can get you an e-Visa for a fee | The list has no Bangladesh entry, so there is no such route |
| Visa on arrival | The rules have no general option for tourists. Airport visas cover delegations, citizens of countries with no Kazakh consulate and people with an invitation or Interior Ministry instruction; ask before relying on this |
| ETA replaces a visa | ETA is for visa-free citizens. It is not your route |
If a travel business or a mission page says otherwise, ask it for the date and check the annex yourself. A paid application on a list you are not on is money lost, because the e-Visa fee is non-refundable.
Does this cover your case?
| Your case | Answer |
|---|---|
| Bangladeshi passport, in Dhaka | Visa through a mission. Ask which one |
| Bangladeshi passport, living in the Gulf or Malaysia | Visa. You can apply in your country of stay if you have residence or work there |
| Second passport from a visa-free country | We did not confirm how dual citizenship is treated. Ask the mission |
| Transit through Almaty or Astana | Ask the mission: a transit visa exists, and airside rules were not confirmed for your passport |
Kazakhstan visa from Bangladesh: the steps
This is how to get a Kazakhstan visa from Bangladesh as of 05.11.2026.
- Find a host. A person, company, tour firm or hotel with the right to invite can register the invitation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You will need its number and date.
- Find the mission. See the note below. If you hold residence elsewhere, you can apply at the mission there.
- Prepare the Kazakhstan visa requirements for Bangladeshi applicants. Application form, a 3.5 x 4.5 cm photo, invitation number and date, passport, the original fee receipt and any documents for your category. The passport must stay valid at least 3 months after the visa ends, with 2 blank pages and no extension marks.
- Be ready to attend. Fingerprints are taken from age 16.
- Plan for waiting. Rules give up to 5 working days, and security clearance can extend it to 30 days. Do not buy tickets you cannot change.
Missions can ask for more than the list above. For Pakistani tourists, the Islamabad embassy also asks for a ticket, booking, 6-month bank statement and insurance, so keep those ready in case your mission does the same.
Kazakhstan visa fee for Bangladeshi applicants
Rates in USD, in the edition of 21.07.2025. We give no taka figures, as the rate depends on your bank or the mission.
| Visa | USD |
|---|---|
| Tourist, single entry | 60 |
| Tourist, multiple entry | 90 |
| Other single entry | 80 |
| Transit, single or multiple | 20 or 90 |
A tourist B12 allows a stay of up to 30 days, with validity of up to 90. That limit also shapes your plans, since overstaying up to 3 days draws a warning and more than 10 days draws 25 MCI or removal. Work without a permit is an offence too, with penalties reaching removal, which carries a 5-year entry ban.
What differs for Bangladesh
In the region, India has 14 visa-free days and Sri Lanka and Myanmar have the e-Visa. Bangladesh has neither, and sits with Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nigeria and Ghana in the group that needs a mission. If you read advice from an Indian or Sri Lankan traveller, check your own row in the passport checker before relying on it.
After you arrive with a visa, you are recorded automatically at the border by the address on your invitation. The registration page explains what happens if the address changes, and the main visa page has the full penalty table.
