Stretching from the shores of the Caspian Sea to the snowy peaks of the Altai Mountains, Kazakhstan holds the distinction of being the ninth-largest nation in the world. This vast country offers a landscape as varied as its culture: endless grasslands, arid plateaus, towering mountain ranges, and vibrant metropolitan centers. Visitors are often impressed by the sharp contrast between Almaty – with its lively arts scene, culinary variety, and nearby winter resorts – and Astana, the bold capital city known for futuristic architecture and ambitious urban planning.
While the country’s natural beauty and cultural depth make it an appealing destination, the formalities for entering can differ considerably depending on a traveler’s nationality, trip purpose, and intended length of stay. For some, the process is straightforward, requiring little more than a valid passport. For others, advance documentation is essential before they can even book a ticket.
One such document, critical for many travelers, is the Letter of Invitation. This is an official confirmation issued by a licensed entity in Kazakhstan, verifying that the trip has been arranged and acknowledged by the relevant authorities. For certain passport holders, obtaining an LOI is the first – and absolutely necessary – step before applying for a visa.
Partnering with knowledgeable, locally based professionals can transform a complicated application into a smooth process. These experts handle form submissions, coordinate with official offices, and ensure that every requirement is met, allowing visitors to concentrate on planning their activities and accommodations.

An LOI acts as a formal assurance from within the country that supports an entry request. It sets out the purpose of the visit, travel dates, and the host organization—whether that’s a tour operator, hotel, educational institution, or corporate partner.
To border and immigration officials, this document is proof that a legitimate arrangement is in place. It shows that a recognized contact within Kazakhstan is aware of and responsible for the traveler’s plans. For visitors from regions with tighter migration controls, this extra layer of verification is particularly significant.
Importantly, an LOI is not a visa—it’s a prerequisite for certain applicants. Once secured, it is submitted alongside the visa application to a Kazakh consulate or embassy. Without it, the request from an eligible nationality will almost certainly be refused.
The government extends entry privileges to citizens of many nations, allowing them to visit without an invitation letter and, in some cases, without a visa for short stays. Examples include:
The permitted duration varies—commonly between 14 and 90 days—based on mutual agreements. However, these exemptions have limits. Extended visits, frequent multi-entry trips, or activities beyond short-term tourism or meetings may still require both a visa and an LOI.
For many travelers, an invitation letter is a mandatory part of the process. This typically applies to visitors from:
India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and the Philippines.
The rule is part of the national migration policy, ensuring that each application meets set security and legitimacy criteria. In such cases, the LOI must be arranged through an accredited local entity and officially validated by the migration service.

Some visitors must register with migration authorities within five business days of entry. Hotels generally do this for guests, but those staying with private hosts must visit the local migration office themselves.
Ignoring this requirement can result in fines of up to $1,000 USD or multi-year entry bans. Always confirm that your registration is complete.
