Сurrency exchange

The national currency in Kazakhstan is the tenge (KZT).

Goods and various services are allowed to be paid for in tenge only, therefore, it is better to think in advance about having some cash. Russian roubles, US dollars, euros, and some other currencies can be exchanged in the banks and official exchange offices in Kazakhstan, where, as a rule, there are more profitable exchange rates.

In large cities exchange offices work 24/7, but most corners close at 8 pm. Also, there are many ATMs. Bank cards (Visa, Master Card, Euro Card) for payment are accepted almost in all shopping malls and hotels in cities. However, if you plan a trip outside the cities, you had better have some cash.

Currency exchange in Kazakhstan can be found on every street corner. Rates are competitive, once you leave the airport or train station. Always take your passport with you when you go to change money.
