Please see below our service levels and fees in order for you to determine how quickly you can obtain your visa, process your documents or request other services. The fees are in Canadian dollars (including all applicable taxes and official consular fees) and may change without notice at any time due to exchange rate fluctuations or changes in Kazakhstan's base consular fees. The base consular fees for visa processing or document services are not refundable.
Please note that, due to changing and toughening of Kazakhstan legislation, we no longer provide rush visa or authentication/legalization services to all clients. We only provide regular services (5-6 business days). Nonetheless, for certain corporate or our long-time clients, certain exceptions can be made, and rush service could still be provided. Please
contact us for additional details about our services.
We do issue proper financial invoice/receipt of funds that one can use for proper expense and tax reporting within their own organizations/companies or for tracking his/her personal costs.
Please contact us if you any questions about our fee structure or have a large batch of visa application/documents as special volume discounts may apply.

The regular service processing time for a visa request is minimum 7 days ( 5 working days) from the time when all documents are accepted by the Embassy and all other Embassy requirements have been met. However, depending on the paperwork load on the Embassy, potential delays may be expected especially when not all requirements are met. Therefore, if timing is critical to you to get your visa by a certain deadline, it is advisable to contact us as soon as possible.

The below fees for DFAIT authentication are quoted for 1 document (regardless of number of pages). However, for multi-page documents it is better if they are bound and sealed properly (with a ribbon) as this is a common notarial practice in Kazakhstan. Furthermore, if subsequent consular legalization is required, then such binding/sealing is to save funds as Embassy charges per page where legalization stamp is attested.
Nonetheless, please note that certain limitations and criteria apply for binding/sealing together as Embassy of Kazakhstan in Canada may reject such documents. It is best to
contact us in advance to ensure successful legalization.

Consular Legalization by Kazakhstan Embassy in Canada
The regular service processing time at the Embassy should be 3-4 working days from the time when all necessary documents have been received and accepted by the Embassy. However, depending on the paperwork load on the Embassy, potential delays may be expected especially when not all requirements are met.
Therefore, if timing is critical to you to get your document back by a certain deadline, it is advisable to submit documents exactly as per our requirements and to let us know in advance about your deadlines. Please note that the below legalization fees are quoted per each page of document where legalization stamp is to be attested. Thus, to save on consular legalization, it is advisable that multi-page documents be bound and sealed properly (with a ribbon) as this is a common notarial practice in Kazakhstan. Nevertheless, please bear in mind about certain limitations criteria by Kazakhstan Embassy in Canada mentioned above under section for "DFAIT Authentication".
Please
contact us if you have any questions about these requirements or need referral to lawyers/notaries that can perform such an action to the Embassy's satisfaction.
