Visiting Kazakhstan: Papua New Guinean citizen → Kazakhstan
You need a visa — single-entry e-Visa, apply online
Papua New Guinea passport holders need a visa for Kazakhstan and are on the official 109-country e-Visa list: apply online on the Visa and Migration Portal (vmp.gov.kz) with an invitation number registered by your Kazakh host, pay the consular fee, and print the e-Visa — entry and exit only through Kazakhstan's international airports.
The bottom line
- The e-Visa exists for business, tourist and medical-treatment visits and is single-entry; it is issued on the basis of a valid invitation from the Kazakh side, registered with the migration service — a tourist invitation typically comes from a Kazakh tour operator.
- With an e-Visa you can enter and leave Kazakhstan only through the checkpoints of its international airports (passport control at Astana and Almaty) — land borders are not available for e-Visa holders.
- Visas are issued within 5 working days (via the portal the processing target is 30 minutes once the invitation is in place); the consular fee for a single-entry visa is US$80 and paid fees are non-refundable.
- E-visas are not issued to foreigners travelling together with children — families with accompanying children apply through a Kazakh embassy or consulate instead; each e-Visa is valid only for its recipient.
- After arrival, your receiving party (host, hotel or inviting company) must notify the migration service within 3 working days — this applies to visa and visa-free entries alike, and can be done online via the Visa and Migration Portal (vmp.gov.kz) or eQonaq.
