Do Syria Citizens Need a Visa for Kazakhstan in 2026?

Visa Required

Syrian citizens MUST obtain a visa to enter Kazakhstan. While Kazakhstan offers an e-Visa, Syrians can only apply if they have a formal Letter of Invitation (LOI) from a Kazakh host or organization that has been pre-approved by the Kazakh Ministry of Internal Affairs. Without this specific invitation number, you cannot use the e-Visa portal and must apply at an embassy.

Step-by-Step Application Process

Obtain Invitation

Your host in Kazakhstan must secure a Ministry-approved Letter of Invitation (LOI) and send you the invitation number.

Apply for e-Visa

Once you have the invitation number, you can apply for the e-Visa online.

Travel

Print the e-Visa. Note: e-Visas are typically only valid for arrival at specific international airports (like Almaty and Astana).

Required Documents

—Syrian passport valid for at least 6 months
—Formal Letter of Invitation (LOI) with Ministry approval number
—Completed visa application form (online or paper)
—Recent passport-sized photograph
—Confirmed round-trip flight booking
—Proof of accommodation (hotel or host address)
—Proof of sufficient funds (bank statements)

Important Tips

•The most difficult part of this process is getting the Letter of Invitation. Your Kazakh host must be willing to take responsibility for your stay.
•The e-Visa is strictly valid only at designated international airports. Do not try to cross a land border with an e-Visa.
•Ensure your passport has at least two blank pages.
•Do not overstay your visa by even one day; Kazakh authorities are very strict and will impose heavy fines and deportation.

Easiest Way to Get It

Applying for an e-Visa using a Ministry-approved invitation number from a registered Kazakh travel agency or business partner is the most straightforward method.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
