If traveler will not be registered, the border officer will penalize him when traveler exits the country. The fine is around $1000 US per person, and also traveler could lose the privilege of enter the country for next 5 years.

Please note that, according to 2016 legislative changes introduced by Kazakhstan National Security Committee, there must be at least 16 calendar days between LOI approval date (by the Kazakhstan Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and the date of actual arrival in Kazakhstan. The below timing may be increased by 5-12 business days for additional background screening by Kazakh National Security Committee.
Kazakh National Security Committee reserves the right to refuse issuance of LOI (letter of invitation). In this case National Security Committee provides the official letter that explains nature of this rejection. Scanned copy of this letter will be provided to our clients.
