⚠️ Important Notes
Pakistani business travelers must ensure the inviting Kazakhstan company provides a properly worded invitation letter that references the purpose, duration, and nature of the business visit. The business eVisa does not authorize employment in Kazakhstan. For long-term business arrangements or work assignments, a work visa or work permit must be obtained through the Kazakhstan Embassy. Carry printed copies of all supporting documents when entering Kazakhstan.
