3. You can also present a sailor’s passport, official and diplomatic;
4. Children under 14 years of age need a birth certificate with a citizenship confirmation insert;
5. All adult travelers and children over 16 years old fill out a migration card at the border.

Important! Medical insurance is not required and neither party is required to present it. But in Kazakhstan, all medical services for citizens of other countries are paid. Therefore, it is recommended to issue this document.

For children traveling accompanied by one parent or with other persons, the consent of the absent parent or both will be required, as when crossing any border.

When entering Kazakhstan, similar to the Russian side, all arrivals fill out a migration card. Only in the Russian Federation this is done even for a small child, but in Kazakhstan - only for foreigners over 16 years of age.

The card is issued at the checkpoint free of charge. And you can fill it out in any of three languages:

• Russian;
• English;
• Kazakh.

The card form with information and marks is retained until the end of your stay on the territory of the border state. If it is lost or damaged, you must contact the migration authorities for restoration within three days.

Those arriving without a visa can stay in Kazakhstan (the same for Russia) for three months. The first month of this period does not require registration. Next, you need to register with the migration authorities.

The diagram looks like this:

1. A Russian citizen entered the Republic of Kazakhstan without a visa, presenting an identity card at the control checkpoint;
2. For 30 days he can freely reside and move around the country without registration;
3. Before the expiration of the month, he is obliged to contact the migration control authority;
4. An application is submitted with the presentation of a passport and migration card;
5. The application is filled out on a form issued at the place of application;
6. The stay is extended by 60 days, which is stamped on the card;
7. If you need to stay for more than three months, a residence permit or temporary registration is issued on the basis of an employment contract.

Actions from the Russian side

On the Russian side, a passport or other identification document is presented at the checkpoint for verification. If a traveler travels by public transport, he is given a migration form in advance by the driver or employees of the transport service.

When traveling in a personal vehicle, the card is issued at the control point. It must be filled out before starting the control procedure.

Travelers driving their own car will need to present, in addition to identification documents, both on the Russian and Kazakh sides:

• Those. passport for the means of transportation;
• Honey. driver's certificate;
• Driver's license;
• Certificate of insurance;
• Certificate of registration from the traffic police;
• Documents of the owner of the car;
• Migration cards for the driver and all passengers over 16 years of age;
• RUS sticker on the rear car window.

Actions from the Kazakh side

After passing through the Russian side, travelers will face passport control by Kazakh border guards and customs. There is no need to fill out a declaration, but personal belongings, luggage and cars will be searched.

By the way. The authenticity of documents and information specified in the migration card is also carefully checked.

The list of documents and rules for entry by train do not differ from the rules defined for other types of transport. Migrant cards are given to passengers by the train conductor to fill out. Control takes place on trains.

The process of controlling travelers on personal transport

The driver is the first to go to the controller. He, unlike passengers, submits not only personal documents, but also papers for the car.

Then all passengers go to the inspector’s window one by one. Each with their own document and a completed migrant card (if the passenger is over 16).

Other documents are also presented here:

• Permission to travel for a minor not accompanied by a parent;
• Guardianship documents, others.

By the way. All information about travelers is entered into the database. The controller will definitely ask about the purpose and expected duration of the visit, which must coincide with those recorded on the card.

After checking the documents, a search follows. If there is a lot of luggage, it may be necessary to demonstrate the contents of bags and suitcases. Transport is most carefully inspected, since it is easier to hide prohibited items in it.

Important! After admission to the country, you must immediately take out Kazakh insurance for your car. This can be done after leaving the checkpoint. It will cost about 500 rubles. Without this document, driving a foreign car in the country is not allowed.

In what cases can they refuse?

A citizen of the Russian Federation or a person without specific citizenship may be denied entry into Kazakhstan for the following reasons:

• the need to ensure the country's national security;
• actions are aimed at violating the current constitutional order;
• opposing state sovereignty or calling for changes in borders;
• inciting interethnic and interreligious hatred;
• the need to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens of Kazakhstan;
• a criminal record for illegal activities as part of a terrorist group or a court recognition of the fact of a relapse of a previous offense;
• lack of documentary evidence of the availability of funds necessary for a comfortable stay in the Republic - the rule does not apply to persons born in Kazakhstan and members of their families;
