The Kazakh Consulate informs that entry for business trips to Kazakhstan is possible again without a visa (for a maximum of 30 days).
ATTENTION: however, this only applies to direct flights to Kazakhstan. Since Austria does not have direct flights to Kazakhstan, an invitation and a protocol (special authorisation of the interministerial government commission) must be presented upon entry. The special authorisation still needs to be requested by the business partner in Kazakhstan.
Multiple entries longer than 30 days must continue to be applied for at the consulate.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please find here our new price list for 2022.
Best regards

The Thai consulate will suspend the Thailand Pass at 22.12.2021 for a minimum of 14 days. All persons who have already received a QR code of the Thailand passport required for entry can enter as usual. People who have applied for a Thailand passport but have not yet received a Thailand passport must in any case wait for the positive exhibition. The Thai authorities cannot notify if and when the QR code is still issued. People who have not yet applied for a Thailand passport cannot currently travel to Thailand. All “Test and GO” and Sandbox applications are suspended, except the “Phuket Sandbox” program.
Fully immunised travellers who have not yet received a QR code can enter with “Phuket Sandbox Model” (no transit to Bangkok! only direct flights to Phuket). Entry to Bangkok is still possible, but only with a 7-day hotel quarantine (AQ).
The Russian Consulate informs that the Consular Department will remain closed between 03.01.2022 and 07.01.2022 due to the Russian Christmas, i.e. the first regular opening day of the Consulate on 10.01.2022.
We kindly ask you to take this into account in your travel plans.
