What the Kazakhstan visa rules mean for Mauritius travellers
Mauritius passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Kazakhstan. There is nothing to apply for in advance — the visa is issued at the airport or land border after you pay the fee. Bring cash in a major currency, a passport valid for at least six months, a return ticket and the address of your first night's accommodation, and expect a queue at busy airports.
The main option is the Visa on arrival.
