Kazakhstan Visa
Easy, quick and cheap to get in Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan). The only pain is that the embassy and the bank to pay the fee are on opposite sides of town, so it's a bit time-consuming going back and forth.
The embassy opens Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:00 to 12:00. Visa pick-ups are at 18:00.
Went there half an hour before they opened on a Tuesday. We were the first ones and at 8:55 they opened. We applied for a 30-day tourist visa and the documents required were: a copy of your passport (it must be A-4 size, they rejected smaller sized one), a visa application form they provide, one picture (no matter size), your original passport which they keep until visa is ready and 30 USD to be payed in a bank in the center of town, which is something like 40 minutes away by marshrutka from the embassy.
Went to the bank to pay, got the bank receipt and back to the embassy. We handed in all documents and the guy told us visas would be ready on Friday at 18:00, that is in 3 working days.
Went back there on Friday and we got our passports back with a nice 30-day Kazakh visa on them to be used within the next 3 months.
