In addition, there are 10 transit interstate routes passing through Kazakhstan to neighboring countries.

"Passenger Transportation" JSC reminds passengers of the rules for passing border and customs control when crossing the state border of Kazakhstan by rail. 

1. State control on rail transport during passenger transportation is carried out by specialized control bodies. Control begins from the moment the employees of these bodies board at railway stations or other designated places and continues until the checkpoint or the border of the country.

2. Documents are checked directly in the carriages of foreign trains. Passengers are required to remain in their seats with documents ready for inspection.

3. During inspection, toilets and the dining car will be closed. Passengers are prohibited from moving around the carriage.

4. Customs officers may ask questions about the purpose of the trip, return dates and place of stay abroad. Passengers must give precise and clear answers.

5. Hand luggage is checked, and if there is paid baggage, it is also subject to check. If necessary, a customs declaration is filled out indicating the purpose of baggage transportation.

It is worth noting that during customs checks all necessary data is checked, but employees strive to speed up the process as much as possible in order to avoid unjustified delays in train traffic.
