Important Kazakhstan Travel Tip for YOUR First and Next arrivals


  • I highly recommend to arrange an airport pickup at your arrival if you a taking a light to Kazakhstan. Whereever you are coming from, I am sure it is going to be quite a long journey.

So when you arrive you'll be exhausted and weak, I normally am anyway. You also have to go through customs and passport control, then collect your luggage. You loose all common sense stuff when you are tired. Wouldn't it be a relief when you see someone on the other side of the barrier waiting for you to get you to a place you are staying at safe and secure.

There are certainly buses during the day and taxis 24 hours, but trust me and arrange a pickup at arrival. Majority of hotels have airport pickup services for additional cost, sometimes included in the price. Please use it.

Some companies even arrange VIP services as well. That means you don't have to do anything when you arrive, you just wait for a very short period of time and have some refreshments. All your papers will be sorted out for you. I know that the Almaty airport has these services as well. Please check VIP services at the Almaty Airport on their official website.
