China to Kazakhstan visa requirements

Chinese ordinary passport holders can travel to Kazakhstan visa-free for tourism. Under the China-Kazakhstan mutual visa exemption agreement (in force since November 10, 2023), you may stay up to 30 days per entry, with a cumulative total not exceeding 90 days within any 180-day period. No visa or eVisa is needed for a short tourist visit. As of May 2026, citizens of China holding ordinary passports enjoy visa-free entry to Kazakhstan for tourism, business, medical treatment, transit and other private purposes. This is based on the bilateral Agreement on Mutual Visa Exemption signed on May 17, 2023 and effective from November 10, 2023. The permitted stay is a single visit of up to 30 days, with a cumulative limit of 90 days within each rolling 180-day period. Travelers need a passport valid for at least six months, proof of onward/return travel, and should ensure migration registration is completed (usually handled automatically by hotels or at the border). If you plan to stay longer than 30 days in one visit, exceed the 90/180 cumulative cap, or travel for purposes such as work or study, you must obtain the appropriate Kazakhstan visa in advance. The verdict was confirmed against the Beijing Municipal Government announcement of the agreement, the China MFA mutual visa exemption listings, and the Wikipedia visa policy summary, all of which agree on the 30-day single-stay / 90-day cumulative terms.
