Travelling to and studying in the EU

Travel to the EU

This page provides information on travelling to and from the EU and Kazakhstan, as well as issues relating to study trips and accessing information about the EU.

Visas

For travelling to the EU citizens of Kazakhstan require a visa. Depending on the travelling destination, it is either a Schengen visa or a national visa.

TO WHICH COUNTRIES DO SCHENGEN RULES APPLY?

Today, the Schengen area covers 26 countries ("Schengen States") without border controls between them. These countries are: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. These countries apply the common visa policy for short stay visas. With a Schengen visa, you may enter one country and travel freely throughout the Schengen zone.

TO WHICH COUNTRIES ARE NATIONAL VISAS REQUIRED?

Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania, the United Kingdom and Ireland still issue national visas. This means that these visas are only valid for a short stay in the territory of the Member State which issued them.

WHERE TO APPLY FOR THE VISA?

If you intend to visit only one Schengen Member State, you must apply at the Embassy or Consulate of this Member State. If you intend to visit several Schengen countries, you must apply for a visa at the Embassy or Consulate of the country which is your main destination. If you intend to visit several Schengen countries but do not have a main destination, you should apply for a visa at the Embassy or Consulate of the country which is your first point of entry.

Study

Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is the European Union’s programme for education, training, youth and sport. Between 2014 and 2020, it will provide opportunities for four million people to study, train and gain life experience abroad.

Erasmus+ replaces a number of older programmes, including an international exchange programme called Erasmus Mundus.

Erasmus Mundus ended in December 2013, though ongoing projects will be completed until the end of their agreements.

See the Erasmus+ web portal’s Resources section for information about linguistic support, documents for applicants and the management of proposals.

The European Union Visitors Programme

Young professionals from Kazakhstan can take study trips to Europe through the European Union Visitors Programme (EUVP). The programme provides the opportunity to learn about the EU's values, functions, activities and policies.

EUVP is open to the likes of government officials, journalists, teachers and those working in charities and NGOs.

Applications should be addressed to:

EUVP Coordinator
Delegation of the European Union
62, Kosmonavtov street
Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan 010000

The letter should be brief, in English, and must contain:

  1. A description of the applicant's current position;
  2. The applicant's area of expertise;
  3. A brief outline of the sector to be studied in Europe, indicating specifically how it relates to the applicant's career objectives;
  4. A completed application form;
  5. A detailed résumé.

The deadline for applications is March 1st each year for the following year.

Applications in English (originals in hard copy) must be received in the Delegation's office BEFORE March 1st.

EU info centres

With the aim to make information on history and current developments in the European Union, its strategies, policies and perspectives of the integration process available to a wider audience, the EU opens public Information Centres around the world. There are currently two European Union Information (EUi) Centres in Kazakhstan.

The first EUi was opened in Kazakhstan, Almaty in 1998, followed by one in Nur-Sultan in 2007. Information Centres are the part of the biggest universities in Kazakhstan.

The objectives of the EUi Centres are:

  • to make information on the European Union and its policies available to the public;
  • to help universities to promote and consolidate teaching and research in the field of the European integration;
  • to participate in debates about the European Union, with other European Union information relays and networks, where appropriate;
  • to provide information about activities and policies of the European Union and the Delegation of the European Commission in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Practically, the EUi Centres provide students and university teachers with all available resources on the EU, mainly literature, documentation and other printed materials. The EUi Centres process, catalogue and index the European Community publications that are regularly provided to them. EUi Centres also create the possibility for visitors to search for information on the EU from Internet sources.

EU CORNERS IN KAZAKHSTAN

As a part of the drive to increase awareness on EU-Central Asia and EU-Kazakhstan activities, in particular, the EU Delegation made an information package called "EU corner" available to university libraries. The pilot stage project took place in Kazakhstan in 2008. Presently 15 permanent EU Corners provide university libraries in the regions of Kazakhstan with all available resources on the EU, mainly literature, brochures, audio-visuals, promotion materials etc.
