🇰🇿 Kazakhstan visa requirements for Icelandic citizens

Entry rules for Iceland passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Iceland can travel to Kazakhstan for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 30 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 30-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Kazakhstan, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Kazakhstan immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Icelandic passport ranks #32 worldwide, opening 159 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (115 visa-free, 36 with a visa on arrival and 8 with an eTA). Kazakhstan is one of them.

This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Kazakhstani citizens need to arrange entry to Iceland in advance (visa required).

Across Central Asia as a whole, 4 of 5 destinations are open to Icelandic travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
