Rules in force · 8Land borders between Central Asian states open and shut w…Pavements in the centre are uneven and icy in winter
  • Central Asia ↗Keep every hotel registration slip or its e-registration record until you leave Uzbekistan and Tajikistan; border officers can ask for proof of where you slept and fine gaps.
  • Central Asia ↗Land borders between Central Asian states open and shut with politics and demarcation deals; confirm the exact post is open to foreigners the week you cross.
  • Kazakhstan ↗Visa-free entry applies to many nationalities, usually up to 30 days; check your own passport on the official government portal before you book, and keep your entry record.
  • Kazakhstan ↗Use a ride-hailing app (Yandex Go or inDrive) or the airport rank; do not accept unmarked cars offered in the arrivals hall.
  • Kazakhstan ↗Some mountain areas near the Kyrgyz and Chinese borders need a border-zone permit; ask your driver or the park office before you go.
  • Almaty Region ↗Check the mountain forecast and the road status on the morning of any mountain trip; cable cars, lake roads and passes close in storms and snow.
  • Almaty ↗From November to March pavements are icy: wear shoes with grip, and take a ride-hailed car rather than the hill paths after dark.
  • Almaty ↗Pavements in the centre are uneven and icy in winter: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
