The short answer
Saudi citizens do not need a visa to enter Kazakhstan for stays of up to 30 days. No visa is needed before travelling to Kazakhstan for a short tourist or business visit. This covers tourist and short business visits only, not work, study or residence, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry in every case. Entry rules change without notice, so the requirement is read again from the official source on a schedule and the date above is the last time that happened. The official source for this corridor is linked on this page and should be checked before booking. Where the destination government and the traveller's own government disagree, the destination government decides, because it is the one that writes the rule. This was last checked on 19 April 2026.

Plan a trip of 30 days or fewer. Beyond that, Kazakhstan needs a different permission and this page does not cover it.
