Kazakhstan announced in a statement on Monday that Iranian citizens will not need a visa to travel to Kazakhstan as of July 20, 2022.
“According to the visa-free regime conditions, citizens of India, Iran, and China will be able to enter and stay in Kazakhstan without a visa for up to 14 days from the moment of border crossing. Trips for private, tourist, and business purposes are available under the visa-free regime,” according to The Astana Times.
This measure comes after the visit of Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of Kazakhstan to Tehran and his negotiations with top Iranian officials.
It is expected that the commercial, economic, and tourism relations between the two countries will enter a new phase, said the statement released by Kazakhstan.
