Kazakhstan has announced the rollout of a free electronic travel authorization system called QazETA, starting November 1, 2026. The system is designed for tourists visiting the country.
The QazETA will initially be optional for travelers. It will remain non-mandatory until June 30, 2027, after which it will become a required document for entry.
This change means that tourists planning to visit Kazakhstan after June 30, 2027, will need to obtain the free QazETA authorization before their trip. Until that date, travelers can choose to use it or not.
