The short answer
Kazakhstani citizens need a visa arranged in advance to enter Germany for stays of up to 90 days. A visa has to be obtained before travelling to Germany. The fee is EUR 90 for a Schengen visa covering stays of up to 90 days, and EUR 75 for a national visa for longer stays, as published on 19 September 2026. Reductions and waivers apply to defined categories of applicant, including children under six and people travelling for study, training, or research. Conditions: what you apply for depends on the purpose of the trip and its length. Stays of up to 90 days use a Schengen visa, and longer stays use a national visa.

Step by step
How Kazakhstani citizens enter Germany
Check whether your travel document carries a visa requirement, using the table of countries published on the official page.
Decide which visa fits the trip. Stays of up to 90 days use a Schengen visa, and longer stays use a national visa.
Apply through the mission responsible for your ordinary place of residence. Schengen visa applications cannot yet be submitted through the Consular Services Portal, so the route is an appointment at the mission or at its external service provider.
Attend the appointment in person to give biometric data, which is fingerprints and a photograph, to present any original documents specified, and to pay the fee.
Allow for a fee of EUR 90 for a Schengen visa or EUR 75 for a national visa, unless a published reduction or waiver applies.
