Kazakhstan and Seychelles are
planning to introduce a visa-free regime. The draft agreement between the
countries was published by the Kazakh Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Open
Legal Acts portal and is available for public discussion until August 28. Thus,
holders of valid passports will be able to enter and leave, transit or stay on
the territory of the two countries without a visa for no more than 30 calendar
days within 180 days. Those wishing to set up a business, get a job, or start
studying and therefore stay longer than the specified period will have to
obtain a permit. The agreement will contribute to close cooperation between
Kazakhstan and Seychelles, providing simplified visa-free travel for holders of
all types of passports. It is noteworthy that Kazakhstan ranked 53rd out of 97
countries in the world’s most powerful passports ranking this year. Kazakh
citizens are allowed to visit 39 countries without a visa and obtain it on
arrival in another 52 countries.
