The crossings are Urlyutobe, Aukhatty, Atameken and Nurly Zhol. Travellers covered by the scheme can apply free of charge in the app at least 72 hours before arrival. Authorisation is valid for 180 days, but this does not extend the permitted length of stay.
The schedule provides for expansion to Astana and Almaty airports in January 2027 and other crossings in March. It becomes mandatory on 1 July 2027 for the relevant categories, subject to exemptions. This is the regulatory timetable; the sources consulted provide no first-day inspection results.
