Kazakhstan has introduced the QazETA travel authorisation for Indian travellers, which will become mandatory from July 1, 2027.

Applications for the ETA can be made through the official website starting November 1, 2026.

During the pilot phase applying is recommended but not mandatory. Indian passport holders must apply at least 72 hours before arrival and ensure their passports are valid for more than six months. They are also advised to carry their original passports while in Kazakhstan and not take up employment on tourist or visa-free entry.

Indian nationals working in Kazakhstan must obtain the appropriate employment-related visa and work authorisation. Workers should verify that their employers have completed all procedures for foreign recruitment. Indian travellers are warned against using unregistered recruitment agencies on social media and are urged to respect Kazakhstan's laws, customs and public order.
