Border of Kazakhstan with Russia: rules of crossing, necessary documents

Several years ago, Russia and Kazakhstan signed an agreement on a single economic space. Due to this, it became much easier to cross the state border of these two countries, and also the rules of staying in these states became much simpler.

General Provisions

The main thing that it is necessary to know for Russians entering Kazakhstan is that a visa is not required. Citizens of the countries that are members of the Single Economic Community can easily transit, move freely across the territory of Kazakhstan, enter and leave without any problems. When crossing the Russia-Kazakhstan border, no fee is charged for its crossing. These rules also apply to Kazakhs who come to the territory of the Russian Federation.

Required documents

The border of Kazakhstan with Russia has a simplified version of the required papers. Travelers will only need to show proof of identity. It should indicate that a person has Russian citizenship. Such documents include:

• The internal passport of the citizen of the Russian Federation;
• Service passport;
• Diplomatic identification;
• Seaman's passport.

It is only necessary to monitor the validity of the document by which a person enters a foreign country, since it will be extremely problematic to leave an overdue passport .

If the border is crossed by a minor child who does not yet have an internal passport, then it is necessary to take a birth certificate. This document must necessarily state that the child is a citizen of Russia.

Citizens of Kazakhstan, crossing the border of the Russian Federation, must also show only a document that confirms their identity and citizenship.

Rules of entry

If the border of Kazakhstan is crossed with Russia, it should be noted that there are no strict rules for entry, you only need to produce a document that confirms your identity and citizenship. After the customs officer sees the paper he is interested in, he will put a stamp in his passport authorizing him to enter the country.

It is also necessary to fill out the migration card, it should be completed before the beginning of passport control. It indicates the passport data, the purpose of arrival and the date of departure. After all the procedures you can continue your journey to Kazakhstan, you can stay in the country for three months. Before joining the Customs Union, this period was only five days.

The migration card can be filled in one of such languages as:

• Kazakh;
• Russian;
• English.

While staying in Kazakhstan, it is necessary to keep a migration card, when leaving the state, the border guard will take it.

Driving on a car

What is the border of Russia with Kazakhstan? This is not known to every person, but the rules of crossing will not hurt to know anyone. If the border intersects on your own car, the migration card is filled in exactly the same way as when crossing the state line in any other way.

The first pass the passport control the driver of the car, he is obliged to show a driver's license, documents for the car. Then pass all the passengers. If everything is in order with the documents, the procedure of customs inspection begins. It is necessary to show not only personal things, but the whole car. In the absence of queues at the border, the entire procedure takes about 10 minutes. The Russian customs service is passed, if a little further, there will be a neutral territory and the Kazakh side of the customs.

They are also asked to present documents and ask for the purpose of arrival and the exact date of departure from the country. All this is already written in the migration card, but the customs officer wants to check whether the data does not diverge, and also he will have some opinion about the person entering the country. Then again, the inspection of the car, if the claims of the border guards do not arise, the border of Kazakhstan with Russia is passed.

However, to begin with, you need to arrange insurance, you can do it directly at the border in the kiosk, the cost of this document is about 500 rubles.

Penalties for violation of traffic rules

In Kazakhstan, very high fines for violation of traffic rules, so it is better to travel by the rules, so as not to attract the attention of local law enforcement agencies.

Type of violation and the cost of a fine:

• Not included turn signal when rebuilding - 3000 rubles;
• There is no insurance (which is purchased at the border) - 3000 rubles;
• When a representative of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate stopped, and without his permission you left the car - 3000 rubles;
• Speeding by 10 km / h - 6000 rubles.

And the other high enough fines. Citizens of Russia who drive a car with a right-hand drive are not fined.

Passage of customs

прохождение таможни занимает буквально несколько минут. Thanks to the Customs Union, the border between Russia and Kazakhstan is a kind of convention, the passage of customs takes literally a few minutes. Previously, it was necessary to fill in the customs declaration, then check the veracity of the written and so on. Now all this is gone. Customs officers (border guards and customs officers are not the same) check documents, and nothing else is needed to fill.

Customs pass trucks separately, cars are separate. The only thing that can tighten the whole process is a bus with passengers, which is before you in line, then you have to wait 30-60 minutes.

Rules of stay

If you managed to cross the Kazakhstan-Russia border, you should think about how much you can stay in a foreign country. For citizens of Russia and Kazakhstan, the same rules apply. Foreigners can stay in another country for 30 days without registering. If you need to stay in the country for up to three months, you need to make a temporary registration, it is given for a maximum of 90 days.

To prolong the three-month registration is possible only in one case: if the foreigner has got a job officially and has an employment contract. In this case, the right to stay in the country is extended for the entire period of the contract with the employer.

Back border crossing

On the way back, the rules of crossing the Kazakhstan-Russia border are even simpler than they were at the entrance, you do not need to fill out the migration card, you just need to give the detachable root from it. Check only the documents proving the identity of the person, whether he delayed the time of stay in the country and his car. The whole procedure takes just a few minutes.

The border of Kazakhstan with Russia has a simplified form of travel, thanks to the TS. It is only necessary to fill in the migration card and purchase an insurance policy (if the state border crosses on its own car).
