Residence permit · pilot until 31.12.2026

Residence permit in the Republic of Kazakhstan

Until 31 December 2026 a permanent residence permit is issued under a pilot procedure: language test, points-based assessment, interview and a year of residence in a settlement region. Certain categories of applicants are exempt — that is checked first, because the grounds determine whether the full or the shortened procedure applies.

Important

Since 18 August 2026 the test, scoring and settlement-region requirement do not apply to former compatriots, spouses of citizens married for at least a year, persons over 60 joining family, and minors. Investors on A5 and A6 visas and holders of in-demand professions on a B9 visa proceed without an admission notice.
As a general rule, exemptions do not remove the solvency requirement or the home country's consent to permanent emigration. The scope of exemptions for a specific category is confirmed by a lawyer on the date of application.

Questions and answers

I am married to a Kazakhstan citizen. Do I need the test and the region?

With a marriage of at least one year exemptions apply; we confirm their exact scope for your category before starting — practice on this point is being clarified.

How much money must be shown?

1,320 MCI (5,709,000 ₸ in 2026) in a Kazakhstan bank account in the applicant's name — per family member over 16. The statement must be no older than 180 days.

I am from a visa-free country — which visa do I need?

A B8 visa is issued in Kazakhstan after the documents are filed; citizens of visa countries get B8 at a Kazakhstan consulate, where the interview also takes place.

How long does it take?

Without exemptions: test, questionnaire and checks — up to two months, then a year in the region, then 45 days at the service centre and up to 15 business days for the card. With an exemption — straight to the service-centre package.

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.
