Application locations we prepare clients for
Astana & Almaty
Kazakhstan citizens and residents, including Russian and other foreign citizens living in Kazakhstan
- Apply to the country of your main destination or longest stay
- Many member states use official VFS Global centers in Astana and Almaty; Spain uses BLS
- Foreign residents need a valid Kazakhstan residence permit lasting beyond the trip
- Stamped bank statements, employment letter and pension contribution records support ties
- Apply 6 months to 15 days before travel — 8+ weeks ahead is safer

- Many states have no embassy in Dhaka and are represented by another state
- Example: Sweden's embassy handles visas for several other Schengen countries
- Some countries may require applying in New Delhi — check before booking
- e-TIN, tax return acknowledgment, bank solvency and employer NOC support ties
