“In case of checks when passing border and customs control upon arrival in Kazakhstan, citizens of Tajikistan should be ready to answer questions related to the purpose and timing of their trip, place of residence, the presence of acquaintances or relatives in Kazakhstan, providing, if necessary, their residential address and contact numbers,” the Foreign Ministry said. The Ministry noted that in case of difficulties it is necessary to apply to the Embassy of Tajikistan in Kazakhstan or the Consulate General in Almaty.
Fom May 1, aviation security measures have been strengthened in all of Kazakhstan’s airports. Additional measures have been introduced at security check areas, parking lots and passenger terminals.
As reported by the press service of Kazakhstan’s Civil Aviation Committee (CAC) at the Ministry of Industry, the first line of inspection at the entrance to passenger terminals has been introduced to help preclude the movement of prohibited items and substances. “Strengthening of measures on aviation security is associated with the implementation of preventive measures and assessment of the state of aviation security of civil aviation air transport infrastructure,” stated the CAC.
