They will thus be able to enter, leave, transit and even stay temporarily in either Vietnam or Kazakhstan for one maximum 30 days from the date of entry. However, it is important to note that the duration of their stay must not exceed 90 days in any 3-month period.
If citizens of these two countries wish to extend their stay beyond these limits, they will have to comply with current regulations and apply for a visa.
Mutual benefits for both countries
