Overview
Issued to foreign nationals or stateless persons involved in ongoing legal proceedings, such as preliminary investigations or court hearings, who need to regularize their status to leave Kazakhstan.
The B21 visa is an administrative exit document for foreign nationals currently in Kazakhstan who are involved in ongoing legal proceedings. It is not a travel visa but a status-regularization tool that allows individuals to remain in the country until their legal obligations are met. The visa is strictly tied to the requirements of the court or investigative body overseeing the case.
