Are you sure that this report is correct or that it applies to Kazakhstan citizens coming from the United Kingdom?

I just attempted a Visa application as

  • Kazakhstan citizen
  • consulate London
  • single transit

and it returned You are exempt from visa.


Air Astana has been advised by the Turkish authorities that due to the extended quarantine announced by Kazakhstan on 2 July, entry to Turkey for Kazakhstan citizens and residents will be temporarily suspended with immediate effect. Flights between Almaty and Nursultan, and Istanbul and Antalya, will continue to operate albeit to a modified schedule, in order to bring Kazakh citizens presently on vacation in Turkey back home at the end of their holiday. Air Astana has been advised by the Turkish authority that this is a temporary measure.

This emplies persons presently in Kazakhstan.

You should contact the Turkish Consulate to make sure that a Kazakhstan citizens arriving from the UK (and not from Kazakhstan) may enter Turkey to return home.
