Passport and transit notes

Passport validity: 2 blank pages; For a Kazakhstan visa, the passport must have at least 2 blank pages and expire no earlier than 3 months after the requested visa expires. Passports with validity-extension marks are not accepted for this route.; Validity source (opens in a new tab) Validity guide
Transit: landside transit: required; Kazakhstan publishes a separate B13 transit visa for travel through its territory, with up to 5 days in one direction. The checked official guidance does not publish a universal airside-only waiver, so airport transit without border control remains itinerary- and carrier-specific.; Transit source (opens in a new tab) Transit guide

What you need

Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the expiry of the requested visa

Proof of payment of the official consular fee

Why this verdict

Nigerian ordinary passport holders are listed as visa-required in Kazakhstan's current MFA regime table, while the current eGov visa guide separately includes this nationality in the single-entry electronic-visa list. The tourist eVisa requires a Kazakhstan-side invitation, payment and a printed visa, and it is used through international-airport checkpoints. This guidance covers ordinary-passport short tourism only; other purposes and routes can require a different visa.

Conditional rules

Traveller does not have a Kazakhstan-side invitation registered with the migration authorities Visa required

The official eVisa route is issued on the basis of a valid invitation from the Kazakhstan side.
Entry or exit is planned outside the international-airport checkpoints supported by the eVisa route Visa required

Use a suitable consular visa or confirm another official route; the eGov guidance limits the electronic-visa route to international-airport checkpoints.
