Does an eSIM work in Kazakhstan? Yes. TravelyData’s Kazakhstan eSIM is a data-only plan, and Kcell 5G is the network listed for it. You install it by scanning a QR code. Hotspot is allowed. It has no SMS, and you make calls through apps such as WhatsApp.

Which plan for 7 days? For light use, such as maps and messaging, the 1 GB – 7 days plan ($3.60) covers a week. For streaming, work or sharing a hotspot, the Unlimited – 7 days plan ($23.85) removes the data limit. For more data at a lower price, the 3 GB – 30 days ($7.20) and 5 GB – 30 days ($11.00) plans also cover a one-week trip.

Prices as shown on this page on 23 Oct 2026. The price at checkout applies.

How to install and activate

Scan the QR code. Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Add eSIM (or Add Data Plan), then scan the QR code you receive after purchase.
Label the plan, for example “Kazakhstan Travel”, so you can tell it apart from your home SIM.
When you arrive in Kazakhstan, turn on Data Roaming for the eSIM. Turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid charges.

Device compatibility

You need a carrier-unlocked, eSIM-capable phone. Most recent models work, including iPhone XS or newer, Google Pixel 3 or newer and Samsung Galaxy S20 or newer. Check that your phone supports eSIM before you buy.

Do I need QazETA to enter Kazakhstan?

QazETA is Kazakhstan’s electronic travel authorisation. Registration is free. You apply on the QazETA portal (qazeta.kz) or in the QazETA app at least 72 hours before you travel. Checks are set to start on 1 November 2026 at Aktau International Airport and selected land crossings, and at Astana and Almaty airports on 1 January 2027. From 1 July 2027 it is set to be required for all foreigners covered by the rule. Once your ETA is issued, save a copy on your phone. Full details: Kazakhstan QazETA: how to apply.

See our Almaty airport to city guide for Yandex Go, Onay bus and payment tips.

What is your refund policy for the Kazakhstan eSIM?

You get a 100% refund if your phone does not support eSIM or is locked to a carrier, the eSIM has not been installed or activated, and you claim within 14 days of purchase. You also get a full refund if your eSIM is not delivered. If a technical error on our side stops the eSIM from activating, or the local network is down or the signal is too poor to use it, and our support team cannot fix it, we will refund it in full (for a technical error on our side, we may replace the eSIM instead). We do not give refunds for a change of mind, or once the eSIM has been installed or activated (except for a technical error or a local network problem). Full details: Cancellation & Refund Policy.
