Phuket International Airport (HKT) Arrival Card - Kazakhstan Entry Guide

Updated 2026-10-09

Do I need a QazETA when flying into HKT?

Yes. The Kazakhstan QazETA (QazETA) is required for foreign passengers entering Kazakhstan regardless of which airport you arrive through. If your flight lands at Phuket International Airport, your QazETA is checked when you clear immigration at HKT - and often earlier, at check-in or the departure gate.

When to submit before a HKT flight

The submission window is the same for every airport: check the current official guidance for your arrival date, and do not leave it until departure day. Travellers connecting through other airports before landing at HKT should use the flight number of the leg that physically lands in Phuket.

The official submission is free on the Royal Kazakh Government's QazETA portal (https://https://qazeta.kz). Our independent service completes and files the QazETA for you for $19.00, with the confirmation delivered to your email within 24 hours.

At Phuket International Airport: what happens at immigration

After landing at HKT, follow arrivals signage to immigration control. Have your passport and your QazETA confirmation (email or QR code) ready. Officers match the card against your passport details, so the name and passport number on your submission must match exactly. After immigration, you proceed to baggage claim and customs as usual.

During peak arrival waves at Phuket International Airport the immigration hall can get busy - having the QazETA already done keeps you in the fast lane instead of filling forms at a counter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a QazETA if I land at HKT?

Yes. Every foreign visitor entering Kazakhstan must submit the Kazakhstan QazETA (QazETA) before arrival, regardless of airport. At Phuket International Airport (HKT) officers check it against your passport at immigration.

Which flight number do I put if I connect before HKT?

Use the flight number of the leg that physically lands in Phuket. If you transit elsewhere first, the earlier legs do not matter for the QazETA form.

Is the QazETA checked at HKT or before boarding?

Both, potentially. Airlines flying to Kazakhstan may ask for proof at check-in or the gate, and immigration officers at HKT verify it again against your passport.

What if my QazETA details do not match my passport at HKT?

Name and passport number must match exactly. If you spot an error after submitting, file a correction before you fly - mismatches at HKT immigration can mean delays or re-filing on the spot.

We complete and file your Kazakhstan QazETA and email it to you within 24 hours - $19.00, independent service.
