Visa Easing Talks Advance Between EU and Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan Wants EU to Ease These Visa Procedures
Under the visa facilitation agreement, Kazakhstan expects the EU to facilitate a number of requirements for its citizens applying for Schengen visas.
According to the Kazakhstan authorities, the country wants the member states to process visa applications faster, thus reducing the processing time.
The country also wants the bloc to lower the visa application fee, issue multiple entry visas with a longer validity period, limit the number of required documents, and introduce preferential categories for applicants.
To reach this agreement, the Kazakhstan authorities have said that the country has taken all the necessary steps to ensure that there will not be a spike in irregular migration.
The authorities also stressed that they are open to cooperating in the readmission of Kazakhstan nationals who stay in the bloc without the needed documentation.
Statistics published by AtoZSerwisPlus show that Kazakhstan nationals file a large number of Schengen visa applications every year. In 2023 alone, this nationality submitted 159,072 Schengen visa applications.
During the same year, 143,970 Kazakhstan passport holders were granted a visa while 14,285 of them had their applications denied.
