Russia and Kazakhstan have developed rather warm relations, and Russians can visit the neighboring country in a visa-free regime. However, at the same time, residents of the Russian Federation entering Kazakhstan will need to have a number of documents with them.
Necessary
- - passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation (birth certificate);
- - international passport (optional);
- - diplomatic passport (if any);
- - seaman's passport (if necessary);
- - service passport (if necessary);
- - a certificate of the possibility of returning to the territory of the Russian Federation.
Instructions
Step 1
Russia is one of 12 states whose residents, according to an international agreement, can use visa-free entry to Kazakhstan. There is a separate register of documents that Russians need to prepare in advance in order to enter the territory of a neighboring state. According to the latest agreements between the two countries, Russians can enter Kazakhstan with both an international passport and an internal Russian passport.
In the event that a Russian travels to the territory of a neighboring country for a work purpose, he may need additional documents: a diplomatic and service passport, a sailor's passport, as well as a certificate allowing him to return to the territory of the Russian Federation. Most often, these documents are processed by the company in which the potential traveler works.
Step 2
You can fly to Kazakhstan by plane, every day a large number of airliners go there from Russia. For example, you can fly to the capital of Kazakhstan - Astana from Moscow, Novosibirsk, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Omsk, Orenburg, Krasnoyarsk. Every day the airports of Astana, Almaty, Balkhash and Pavlodar receive flights not only from the capitals, but also from Kazan, Samara, Grozny and other Russian cities. At the same time, the cost of air travel is quite low, which is important for a traveler.
Step 3
Kazakhstan has 11 railway junctions with Russia, since it borders with it not only in the north, but also in the west. So, you can go to Kazakhstan from Moscow by the company train №007 "Moscow-Alma-Ata", as well as by passenger trains №072 "Moscow-Astana" and №084 "Moscow-Karaganda". These trains run through Ryazan, Syzran, Ufa and Chelyabinsk. One of the directions of the Russian railway network passes through the city of Petropavlovsk, territorially related to Kazakhstan. This settlement can be reached by train from Novosibirsk, Volgograd, Astrakhan, Omsk, Yekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk, Severobaikalsk, Anapa, Tomsk, Penza and many other cities.
Step 4
Finally, it is possible to travel to Kazakhstan using personal vehicles, since the intercity bus service between Russian and Kazakh cities is currently functioning with serious disruptions. The nearest border road points between Russia and Kazakhstan are located near Omsk, Samara and Chelyabinsk.
Coming out of Samara, you will need to take the M32 highway. If a traveler travels to Kazakhstan from Omsk, he needs to use the A320 highway. Coming from Chelyabinsk, take the A310 highway. It should be noted that the distance from Omsk to the border and from Chelyabinsk to the border is the same, it is 150 kilometers.
