Company registration in the AIFC
A Private Company is registered under the law of the Astana International Financial Centre via the digitalresident.kz portal. The registrar is the AIFC Financial Services Authority (AFSA). The company receives a BIN, is entered in the public register and, as an AIFC participant, hires foreign employees without a permit or quota.
Procedure
Client questionnaire
Three name options, Ltd. or Limited suffix, activities with shares, business description, financial year, registration e-mail and phone, capital and share structure.
via a guest link after your requestParticipants and officers
For each — roles (shareholder, director, CEO, signatory, UBO), share, passport, Kazakhstan IIN, home-country tax number, address, e-mail. Everyone verifies on the portal and passes KYC personally.
Registered address
A lease or the owner's consent letter with the address and RKA code. The address must be within the AIFC boundaries — a requirement, not a privilege.
Founders' resolution and filing
The Resolution of Incorporating Shareholders is signed with the authorised person's digital signature; the signatory must match the person in the resolution. The fee is paid by card on the portal — the payer must match the cardholder.

What does AIFC participant status give?
Hiring foreigners without a labour permit or quota, reduced Expat Centre tariffs, English-language AIFC law. Visas, fees and migration registration are processed as usual.
