Is Kazakhstan visa free for Pakistan?

No. As of 05.11.2026 an ordinary Pakistani passport requires a visa, according to the Foreign Ministry table updated on 21.08.2026.

How do I get a Kazakhstan visa from Pakistan?

For tourism, you need a Visa Support number from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, obtained through your host. You then submit the documents in person at the embassy. Anyone 16 or over gives fingerprints, and the embassy does not accept post.

Can a Pakistani apply for a tourist e-Visa?

No. Since the February 2026 changes to the Visa Rules, Pakistani citizens can only get business e-Visa B3, and that option ends on 31 December 2026.

Can I apply from Saudi Arabia or the UAE?

Your country of stay can be used if you have residence, work or study there. A Saudi or UAE residence does not remove the visa requirement, because the rule follows your citizenship.

Kazakhstan visa Pakistan: requirements, fee, e-Visa

Pakistan has no visa-free entry to Kazakhstan. Tourists go through the embassy, and the only e-Visa, business B3, leaves the list after 31 December 2026.

Pakistani citizens need a visa for Kazakhstan: as of 05.11.2026 there are no visa-free days on an ordinary passport, and a tourist stay on visa B12 is arranged through the embassy. That is how to get a Kazakhstan visa from Pakistan on a Pakistani passport. Your only electronic option is business visa B3, and that ends with the current list on 31 December 2026. Decree No 148 as amended by No 890 of 10.10.2026 does not add Pakistan to any visa-free list. We are not a visa centre, and rules change, so confirm with the embassy in Islamabad before paying for anything.

Deadline Item 73 of annex 11, the Pakistan line in the e-Visa list, stays in force only until 31 December 2026. From 1 January 2027 applicants leave the e-Visa route entirely unless the rules change again.

Which route fits your trip

Your trip	Route	What you need
Tourism	Embassy visa B12	Visa Support number from the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Business, before 1 January 2027	e-Visa B3 or embassy	Invitation; for the e-Visa also a document from the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of Pakistan
Business, from 1 January 2027	Embassy	Invitation; check the current list with the embassy
Living in the UAE or Saudi Arabia	Visa at a mission where you live, if you have residence, work or study there	Same visa requirement

Kazakhstan visa requirements for Pakistani citizens: tourist B12

These are the embassy’s requirements on a page dated 06.06.2023. Ask the embassy whether anything has been updated before you start collecting them.

A Visa Support number from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, obtained through your host in Kazakhstan.
Application form.
A photo measuring 3.5 x 4.5 cm.
Your passport and a copy of it.
A ticket and a booking.
A 6-month bank statement.
Insurance.

Anyone aged 16 or over must apply in person because of fingerprints, and the embassy does not take postal applications. The Visa Rules also ask that your passport stay valid at least 3 months after the visa ends, with 2 blank pages and no extension marks.

Processing takes up to 5 working days. Security clearance can extend that to 30 days, so we would not buy a non-refundable ticket before the visa is in your passport. The Consulate in Dubai gives the same advice to its applicants.

Kazakhstan visa fee for Pakistani applicants

The Kazakhstan visa for Pakistan price is set in dollars, in the edition of 21.07.2025:

Visa	USD
Tourist, single entry	60
Tourist, multiple entry	90
Business, single entry	80
Business, multiple entry	200 for a year, up to 1,000 for 5 years
e-Visa B3	80, non-refundable

We could not confirm which currency and rate the embassy accepts, so ask when you book.

Business e-Visa B3: what remains until 31 December

Pakistani applicants can use e-Visa only in category B3. It needs an invitation number plus a confirmation of financial standing and business reputation from the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of Pakistan. It allows a stay of up to 30 days within up to 90 days of validity. Entry and exit go through international airports only, and a new passport means a new application.

From the UAE or Saudi Arabia

A Kazakhstan visa for Pakistani UAE residents is still a visa, and a Kazakhstan visa for UAE residents with a Pakistani passport follows the same steps as the one below. Nothing in the rules grants a benefit because of Gulf residence. What your residence can change is the place of application: the Visa Rules allow your country of stay if you have residence, work or study there.

The Consulate General in Dubai asks for a UAE residence visa, an invitation through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, your passport and a copy, a copy of the residence visa, one photo, an application form and a request letter, and it sees people in person by appointment only (page dated 27.08.2025). A Kazakhstan visa for Pakistani from Saudi Arabia follows the same legal logic, but we did not read a page from a mission there. See the Gulf residents page.

What sets Pakistan apart, and what is out of date

Most countries on the e-Visa list can get every category, including tourist. The February 2026 changes limited Pakistan to B3, so any page offering Pakistanis a tourist e-Visa is out of date.

An ETA is not your route either. It applies to visa-free citizens, and the embassy’s news about QazETA, dated 04.11.2026, does not change your visa requirement. ETA and a visa are separate grounds of entry and are not used together.

Not verified yet Whether Kazakhstan will replace the Pakistan e-Visa line after 31 December 2026 with something else. We found no announcement as of 05.11.2026. Check with the embassy and qazeta.kz if your trip is in 2027.

With your visa you are recorded automatically at the border, so read how registration works before you change address. The main visa page has overstay penalties and more on invitations.
