I got a Kazakh visa in Bishkek, no problems, took 3 days I think.
There is (was?) a rule meaning that you could enter South Kazakhstan, Zhambyl and Almaty Provinces with a Kyrgyz tourist visa, and Talas / Chuy Provinces of Kyrgyzstan with a Kazakh tourist visa. I used this rule in 2011, but I had a double entry visa.
I guess since Kyrgyzstan is now visa free for EU nationals (I think!?), that the rule no longer works...
Anyhow, it's not difficult to get a single or double entry KZ tourist visa.

Not all EU nationals are visa free so best check before on the Kyrgyzstan website as a Greek lad i spoke to has to get a visa
Also Kyrgyzstan is joining the Custom Union soon so will be with Kazakhstan Russia & Belarus in this Union so i would also think there is a chance they might change visa rules again so maybe in a year or 2 all EU nationals will need a visa again.
