Warnings Or Dangers: AIRPORT SECURITY
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The airports in Kazakhstan are regarded as military property, and as such are very well guarded and secret. Do not attempt to take any photographs in or around the airport grounds. Many airforce planes and helicoptors are parked near the terminals. You will occasionally see people snap a family photo inside the waiting halls, but the guards are wary of this as well.

    Warnings Or Dangers: POLICE REGISTRATION
  • Tip Rating:
  • It is currently the regulation that any foreigner staying in any city for three days or more must have a 'Police Registration' stamp in their passport. It is possible to be stopped by the police and have your 'papers' checked at any time.

    Hotels and other travel agents can have this done for you and it costs around US$10.

    Personally, I leave my original passport in the safe at the hotel, and carry a photocopy of the main passport ID page on my person.

    It is also a good idea to always carry a Business Card from your hotel on you, and possibly a card from your interpreter.
