Do people do visa runs?

Be careful with this one. Kazakhstan's visa-free regime typically caps total days within a rolling 180-day period, so leaving and coming back doesn't necessarily reset your clock the way it does in some countries. A short trip abroad can use up the days you have left. If you want to stay longer than your visa-free window, the proper answer is a long-stay route such as the nomad visa, not repeated border crossings. Check the current rules with the MFA before planning any trip that assumes a reset.
