How to Apply for Vietnam Visa From Kazakhstan: Steps, Timing and Payment

How to apply for Vietnam visa from Kazakhstan only matters when you plan to stay longer than 30 days, because Kazakh citizens with an ordinary passport enter Vietnam without a visa for up to 30 days. For a longer stay you apply online for the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days, pay by card, upload a passport page and a photo, and receive a PDF by email. This page covers when you need it, the steps, what to prepare, timing in Astana time, paying from Kazakhstan and mistakes to avoid. For prices in Kazakhstani tenge and the full cut-off table, see our guide to the Vietnam visa for Kazakh citizens. If your plans go beyond the exemption, you can apply for your e-visa.

eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25.

How to apply for Vietnam visa from Kazakhstan

Decide first whether you need to apply. Ordinary-passport holders from Kazakhstan may stay up to 30 days without a visa, as our guide for Kazakh citizens explains, so a visa from Kazakhstan to Vietnam is needed only for a stay longer than 30 days.

If that is your case, you apply in five steps with us:

1. Fill in the form: Enter your passport details, trip dates, entry gate and the speed you want. The price and the delivery time update as you choose.
2. Pay by card: Pay in US dollars. The price at checkout is the price we charge.
3. Upload your files: Add the passport data page and the portrait photo. You can upload any time after paying.
4. We check and submit: A person looks at the photo and scan, and contacts you if a file has a problem, before submitting on evisa.gov.vn.
5. Receive the PDF: The approved e-visa arrives by email. Check your name and passport number against your passport, and print one copy.

You can also apply yourself on evisa.gov.vn; our guide on how to apply covers that route screen by screen. To follow an order with us, use the e-visa status tool.

What to prepare in Kazakhstan

A Vietnam e-visa application from Kazakhstan needs four things ready:

• A Kazakh passport: Valid for at least 6 months from your entry date, with two blank pages.
• A data page image: The page with your photo, all four corners in view, and the two code lines at the bottom sharp, without glare.
• A portrait photo: Recent, facing the camera, white background, no glasses. The photo requirements guide shows examples that pass and fail.
• A card and an emergency contact: A card enabled for online payments to a foreign merchant, and the name, address and phone of a contact at home.

Copy your name from the two code lines at the bottom of the data page, in capital letters, including middle names.

When to apply from Kazakhstan

Apply at least two weeks before you fly if you choose Standard, because 5 to 7 working days can stretch over weekends and Vietnamese public holidays. Astana is 2 hours behind Vietnam. Astana keeps the same time all year, so the gap does not change.

For Same day delivery, order between 6:00 and 12:15 in Astana, on a day that is a working day in Vietnam. With only 2 hours between you and Vietnam, an order placed in your morning reaches Vietnam during its working day. Our guide for Kazakh citizens has the full table of cut-offs, and the urgent e-visa page covers every speed.

Paying for your e-visa from Kazakhstan

You pay in US dollars by credit or debit card. A Standard single-entry e-visa costs $47, about KZT 21,141, government fee included.

Figures use 1 USD = 449.81 KZT (xe.com, October 10, 2026). Your card is charged in US dollars; your bank converts the amount into Kazakhstani tenge at its own rate, so your statement can differ from the figure here. See the full price table for every speed.

On evisa.gov.vn the government fee alone is US$25 (approx. KZT 11,245).

Mistakes Kazakh applicants make

Most problems come from a few mistakes:

• Applying when you do not need to: For 30 days or less, no visa is needed. You still need a valid passport.
• Not planning a longer stay: A stay beyond 30 days must be arranged before you fly. If you are already in Vietnam, see our visa extension page.
• The 90-in-180 cap: Each entry gives 30 days, but the total is capped at 90 days in any 180-day period. Three full stays of 30 days use the whole cap, so a fourth visit within the same 180 days needs an e-visa.
• A look-alike website: The government site is evisa.gov.vn. Private services, including ours, say that they are private.
• A gate you will not use: Choose the airport or border gate you will really enter through, and check the ports of entry list.
