Astana can be reached by both air and land transport. Choosing the right method of travel will ensure that travel costs are minimized as well as maximum travel comfort.
Instructions
Step 1
There is an international airport in Astana. Flights are operated mainly within Kazakhstan, but from Russia you can also fly to Astana. In particular, flights to the international airport of the capital of Kazakhstan are operated from the following Russian cities: Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Orenburg, St. Petersburg, Tomsk, Chelyabinsk. It should be noted that flights from Moscow depart from all airports. The cost of a plane ticket depends on what class of service will be chosen on the plane and how much baggage the traveler will take with him. Travel time depends on which Russian city the journey began in, as well as whether the passenger is traveling with or without transfers, but on average it is about 3 hours.
Step 2
You can get from Russia to Astana by train. You can leave for the capital of Kazakhstan from Ladozhsky railway station in St. Petersburg, Kazansky railway station in Moscow, as well as from Vologda, Yekaterinburg, Ryazan, Kurgan, Omsk and other cities of Russia. The fare for one passenger on the train depends on the chosen class of the carriage, the amount of luggage, as well as on the number of ordered additional services along the route of the train. The travel time by rail is about 24 hours, but this time may vary depending on which city the journey was started in.
Step 3
Buses from Russia arrive at the Saparzhai bus station of Astana from Barnaul, Tomsk, Yekaterinburg and Tyumen. Traveling by bus is less comfortable than by train, but this type of transport can also be used to travel to the capital of Kazakhstan. The travel time of the bus to Astana is on average 21 hours. The exact travel time depends on the city in which the journey started, as well as on the need to change to another bus.
Step 4
It should be noted that Russian citizens do not need a visa to travel to Kazakhstan. At the border, it will be enough to present a general civil or foreign passport. However, a Russian citizen can stay in Kazakhstan for up to 90 days. If, for some reason, it is necessary to stay there for a longer time, then after 3 months, temporary residence in the territory of Kazakhstan should be issued. All Russian citizens should register for migration within 30 days. When living in an apartment, registration is made by the owner of the living space. If a Russian citizen lives in a hotel, then the hotel where the traveler is staying deals with these organizational issues.
