The Kazakh consulate has announced that entry for business trips to Kazakhstan is again possible without a visa (for a maximum of 30 days).
Attention: however, this only applies to direct flights to Kazakhstan. As Austria does not have direct flights to Kazakhstan, an invitation and a protocol (special permit from the interministerial government commission) must be presented upon entry. The business partner in Kazakhstan must still apply for the special permit.
Multiple entries with a validity of more than 30 days must still be applied for at the consulate.Dear ladies and gentlemen,
Please find here the ÖVKG fees 2022, valid from 17.1.2022.
