Japan to Kazakhstan visa requirements
Japanese ordinary passport holders can enter Kazakhstan visa-free for up to 30 days per entry for tourism, with no visa or pre-arrival application required. Stays are limited to 90 days within any 180-day period. Kazakhstan grants Japanese ordinary passport holders unilateral visa-free entry for up to 30 days per visit, a regime first introduced in 2014 and confirmed current as of 2026 by Kazakhstan's official e-government portal. No visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is needed for short tourist stays. The total permitted stay is capped at 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. As of recent rule simplifications, temporary migration registration is no longer required for stays of up to 30 days, so most short-stay tourists arriving by air at Almaty (ALA) or Astana (TSE) need to take no registration action. Travelers staying longer than 30 days must complete self-registration via the Migration Police system. A passport valid for the duration of stay (commonly recommended six months) is required. Because the visa-free window is exactly 30 days, anyone planning a longer trip must obtain an appropriate visa in advance.
