Employer support: foreign employees

A company hiring foreigners is responsible for their legal status: a labour permit or AIFC participant status, a C3 work visa, a stay notification within three business days, a TRP, extensions and deadline tracking for every person. We take all of it: one agreement per company, one lawyer in touch, a deadline calendar for every employee and alerts before anything expires.

Stay notification3 business daysfrom the employee's entry, fine up to 20 MCI

C3 visa via AIFCup to 1 yearAIFC participants — no permit or quota

TRP for work1 yearnot longer than the contract, filed by the employer

Subscriptionfrom 500,000 ₸/monthbasic package up to 5 employees; full — 1,000,000 ₸/month

Procedure

Status audit

We collect the company documents and the list of foreign employees via a guest link: who is on which visa, when it expires, whether the stay notification and TRP are in place. The output is a risk table and a deadline calendar.

free with an agreement

Permit or AIFC status

We determine the hiring basis: a labour permit via the local executive body, a position-based exemption or AIFC participant status. We prepare petitions and invitations.

Visas and entry

Invitations, visa forms, filing via the AIFC Expat Centre or the migration service, e-visas for business trips. The employee gets a clear instruction from us in their language.

After entry

Stay notification within 3 business days, IIN, fingerprinting, TRP, address registration. Each employee gets a personal link for documents.

Ongoing support

A deadline calendar for all employees, reminders 30 days ahead, visa and TRP extensions, offboarding and departure without fines, HR consultations in business hours.

Important

Liability for a late stay notification and for work without a permit lies with the company: fines under Articles 517–518 of the Administrative Code are imposed on the legal entity and its officer, not on the employee. That is why every foreigner's deadlines must be in someone's calendar.

AIFC participants need no labour permit or quota, and Expat Centre tariffs are lower; if the company is just entering the market, AIFC registration can be combined with hiring the first employees.

Questions and answers

How much does it cost?

Two packages. Basic — 500,000 ₸ per month: up to five foreign employees, hiring basis, visas, TRPs, notifications, deadline calendar and extensions. Full — 1,000,000 ₸ per month: unlimited employees, plus legal support of the company (HR documents for foreigners, contracts, inspections) and a reply within two business hours. State fees are paid separately, in advance. Our services — post-payment at the end of the month.

Can we start with one employee?

Yes. The first employee is handled as a one-off service; from the second onwards a subscription is cheaper: the company documents are already collected and the deadlines are already in the calendar.

Who files the documents — you or us?

We do, under the company's power of attorney. The employee's presence is needed only where the law requires it: fingerprinting and visa collection.

What if an employee is already working without a permit?

Do not wait for an inspection. We assess the situation on the day of your request and propose the fastest legal route: a permit, a change of basis, or exit and re-entry on a new visa. The earlier, the cheaper.

As of 09.09.2026 · MCI 4,325 ₸. Information is for reference; requirements and tariffs are set by the authorities and confirmed on the date of application.
