Kazakhstan Private Visit Visa
If you’ve got family or friends in Kazakhstan, you may qualify for the Private Visit Visa for Kazakhstan. A lot of people call this the Kazakhstan Homestay visa.
I really don’t recommend getting this visa as it is a painful, overly bureaucratic process. You are much better of getting the Tourist Visa for Kazakhstan instead.
However, if you insist on getting this visa, keep reading below.
