Visa requirements for Kazakhstani citizens explained

Visa requirements for Kazakhstani citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Kazakhstan.

As of 2024, Kazakhstani citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 78 countries and territories, ranking the Kazakhstani passport 67th in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.[1]

The tables indicate visa requirements for normal passport holders for tourism and other visiting purposes but do not imply entry for work, journalism, etc. Most of the countries below which are labelled as "not requiring visa", request a valid return ticket, documents for confirmed accommodation arrangements and evidence of adequate funds for self-support.
