The information that Kazakhstan has suspended the entry of foreigners into the country due to the declared state of emergency is not true. RBC was informed about this at the Kazakh embassy in Tashkent.
“This is a fake, the embassy didn’t report anything like that,” the diplomatic mission representative assured.
Earlier, RIA Novosti, citing a representative of the Kazakh embassy in Tashkent, reported that Nur-Sultan temporarily banned foreigners from entering the country due to the announced state of emergency. Then the interlocutor of the agency assured that foreign citizens will not be able to get into the country by plane or any other transport, as well as on foot.
Komsomolskaya Pravda, citing local residents, also reported on January 6 that the bus service with Kazakhstan had been suspended. The travel agency, which organizes tours to Nur-Sultan, told the newspaper about the suspension of work due to the closure of the automobile border with Kazakhstan.
Nevertheless, the border department of the FSB of Russia in the Chelyabinsk region assured RBC that the border between Russia and Kazakhstan at the checkpoint in the region is working as usual.
