Visas & Legal: Network School FAQ

8 questions about visas & legal at Network School in Astana. Each links to a full answer with a note on whether it is confirmed, reported or an estimate.

• What are the visa requirements?

  You need a legal basis to be in Kazakhstan for the length of your stay, and which one depends on your passport.

• Can I enter Kazakhstan visa-free?

  Very possibly. Kazakhstan's visa-free list covers dozens of countries, and most eligible travellers get 30 days, with a cap on total days in any 180-day period.

• What is the Neo Nomad visa, and should I get one?

  Kazakhstan has a digital nomad route for remote workers, the Neo Nomad visa, with an income requirement of around $3,000 per month and validity of up to two years.

• Do I need an invitation for a Kazakhstan e-visa?

  If your nationality isn't covered by visa-free entry, Kazakhstan issues electronic visas in several categories.

• Do I have to register with migration authorities?

  Yes. Foreigners in Kazakhstan must register their place of stay with the migration authorities within 72 hours of arrival.

• 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.

• Do I need health insurance?

  Yes, and don't treat it as a formality. Health insurance isn't included in the membership, and some visa categories require proof of cover.

• What medical facilities are available?

  Astana is a capital city with public and private hospitals, clinics and pharmacies, and private clinics are the usual choice for foreigners wanting English-speaking care.
