Visas: The Kazakhis change visa rules more
often than a nanny changes nappies so any information should be double checked with your
travel agency. Basically the only sure-fire way of getting in and out of the country is by
arranging an invitation, or 'visa support', from the Kazakhi police department or a
resident, or by pre-paying all accommodation costs, flights and tourist bookings. The
72-hour transit visa, which allowed you into the country for that amount of time if you
had a Russian visa, has been temporarily revoked and the happy-go-lucky days of yesterday
when you could pick up a visa at the airport (albeit at ransomely-inflated prices) are
gone. Just to increase the degree of difficulty in this transaction, most overseas
embassies or consulates that used to issue Kazakhstan visas no longer do and even getting
one from a Russian embassy in a country without Kazakhstan representation is a hit-and-miss
affair. If you plan to cross overland from China, you may get a Kazak visa in Beijing and
there's also a small Kazak embassy in Islamabad.
Health risks:
Hepatitis A & E, cholera, diptheria & undulant fever. Play it safe and don't drink
the water even if locals say it's OK to drink.
