Arrival Notification for Foreigners in Kazakhstan

Who it's for

Every host party — hotels, individuals, employers — is required to file this notification when hosting a foreign national, regardless of the purpose or length of their stay in Kazakhstan.

Filing is available through the eqonaq.kz portal or the E-Qonaq mobile app — for hotels and individuals, both options are equally valid.

How it works

We help you register on the portal and fill in all the data correctly to avoid errors that could lead to refusal or delay.

• An electronic digital signature (EDS) of an individual or organization
• The foreign national's data: citizenship, purpose of visit, full name per passport
• Gender, date of birth, passport number and validity period
• Address of residence in Kazakhstan, entry date, and estimated duration of stay

Worth knowing in advance

• The notification is filed exclusively online through eqonaq.kz — paper filing through migration authorities is no longer accepted
• The first login to the portal requires registration using an EDS
• The confirmation — a certificate with a QR code — is available for download in your personal account, under "Arrival Notification"
• Hotels and individuals can also file through the E-Qonaq mobile app
