We currently do not have any additional information on when these restrictions will be lifted. If you feel this may affect your travel plans, please contact our visa team at visas@realrussia.co.uk.

They can be valid for a single visit of up to 30 days, two visits of up to 30 days each within a 60-day period or three visits of up to 30 days each within a 90-day period. A tourist visa cannot be extended or changed once issued.

They can be issued for a single visit of up to 30 days, two visits of up to 30 days each within a 60-day period or three visits of up to 30 days each within a 90-day period. However, business visas can also be issued for multiple visits (usually during one year) allowing for up to 30 days stay upon each visit but no more than 60-day stay in any 180-day period. It is not possible to extend your business visa before your departure, but it may be an option to do so when you are in Kazakhstan.
