Kazakhstan and Seychelles agreement on mutual visa exemption

Kazakhstan and Seychelles have signed an Agreement on mutual visa exemption, allowing citizens from both nations to travel visa-free for up to 30 days every six months. The agreement, signed during discussions between Kazakhstan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Murat Nurtleu, and Seychelles’ Minister of Foreign Affairs and Tourism, Sylvestre Radegonde, at the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, signifies a commitment to bolster bilateral relations and promote tourism and economic cooperation.

The accord is seen as a strategic step to enhance people-to-people interactions, business collaborations, and cultural exchanges. Kazakhstan, emphasizing its growing cooperation with African countries, sees this as a significant move to deepen ties with Seychelles and the African continent.

The Agreement will be effective 30 days after the receipt of the final written notifications by both nations, indicating the completion of internal state procedures for its enactment. This progressive development heralds a new era of diplomatic cooperation and travel convenience between Kazakhstan and Seychelles.
