Foreign professionals with in-demand professions can apply for a residence permit in the internal affairs bodies in a simplified procedure without confirming their solvency.
The residence permit will be issued for ten years or the term of a foreigner’s passport.
Last year, Kazakhstan introduced new visa categories – visas for valuable skills, scientific and educational visas – as part of its new migration policy.
