Do Iran citizens need a visa for Kazakhstan?

Based on GoMate's data verified against official and consular sources, the short-stay rule for an ordinary Iran passport entering Kazakhstan is "Visa-free", for stays of up to 14 days. This covers short visits for tourism, business, or transit. Entry requirements can change, so always confirm with the Kazakhstan embassy before traveling.

Under current regulations, Iran passport holders may stay in Kazakhstan for up to 14 days per entry on a short-stay basis (tourism, business, or transit). Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so plan to leave within the permitted period.

No advance application is required. Iran passport holders can travel to Kazakhstan and present a valid passport at the border for short stays covering tourism, business, or transit. Always confirm the current requirements with the Kazakhstan embassy before traveling.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Carry proof of onward travel and sufficient funds, as these may be checked at the border.

No. Short-stay entry to Kazakhstan is intended for tourism, business meetings, and transit — it does not permit paid employment. To work in Kazakhstan, Iran citizens need a separate work visa or permit arranged in advance.

The 14 days short-stay limit is generally firm. Extensions are sometimes possible by applying to the Kazakhstan immigration authorities before your permitted stay ends. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so do not rely on it.
