B2 and B3 Business Visas
B2 and B3 visa categories are for business visits — negotiations, exhibitions, developing partnerships with Kazakhstani companies. Approval takes an average of 5–7 business days.
Who it's for
Business visas suit foreign nationals traveling to Kazakhstan for negotiations, familiarizing themselves with the country's business environment, or developing partnerships with Kazakhstani companies — without the goal of permanent employment.
The inviting Kazakhstani organization files the invitation with the migration service — the procedure is governed by the Rules on invitation processing and approval, and visa issuance and extension.
How it works
We help the host party prepare the invitation and support the whole approval process through to receiving the visa.
- An invitation from the host Kazakhstani organization
- The applicant's passport
- Documents confirming the purpose of the business trip
Timing and obligations after entry
- Document approval takes an average of 5–7 business days; by decision of the KNB, this can be extended to 30 calendar days
- After receiving the visa and arriving in Kazakhstan, the inviting company must notify the migration service within 3 business days of entry
- The processing and extension procedure is governed by separate rules — meeting deadlines at each stage matters to avoid delays
