Kazakhstan, China to Introduce Visa-Free Regime
ASTANA – Kazakhstan and China plan to introduce a visa-free regime for their citizens, according to the draft resolution of the Kazakh Foreign Ministry
According to the document, people can stay up to 30 calendar days from the date of crossing the state border and a total of 90 calendar days in 180 calendar days in both countries.
According to Adil Kaukenov, chief expert of Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies (KazISS), Chinese citizens were eligible to stay in Kazakhstan without a visa for 14 days since June 2022, while Kazakhstan’s citizens had to get a Chinese visa.
“This is a delightful step in response from China. This will dramatically increase the flexibility of Kazakh business and its ability to provide not only local but also the Central Asian, Eurasian, and Chinese markets with the necessary goods. This will also provide more investment opportunities,” he wrote on his Facebook page on April 13.
