Successful Completion of a Debt Collection Case for a Construction Company Client: KORGAN’s Experience in Protecting the Rights of Equity Holders

KORGAN Law Firm has successfully completed another case on debt collection under a reservation agreement for a client of a construction company. We represented the interests of the client who, like many other equity holders in Kazakhstan, faced risks associated with investing in real estate under construction.

Case Background

Previously, a preliminary reservation agreement was concluded between the construction company and our client, according to which the client wanted to purchase residential space in a residential complex under construction located in Astana. Due to the violation of the terms of the agreement by the construction company, an agreement was concluded to terminate the Reservation Agreement. According to the terms of this agreement, the construction company was obliged to return the funds contributed by the client in the amount of 13,000,000 tenge within 60 working days from the date of signing the agreement. However, after the termination of the agreement, the obligations to return the money were not fulfilled, which prompted the client to seek help from our company.

Difficulties of investing in primary real estate

KORGAN’s experience shows that the risks of investing in real estate under construction in Kazakhstan remain high. Despite the adoption of the law on shared participation in housing construction, loopholes for unscrupulous developers still exist, and some construction companies practice schemes with reservation agreements to bypass the mechanism of shared participation.

These schemes often lead to situations where buyers find themselves in a vulnerable position, facing the risk of not receiving their funds when terminating the contract. Moreover, as our experience shows, many developers reserve the right to make changes to the project without providing shareholders with proper guarantees for the quality and appearance of the properties.

Results of KORGAN’s work

The KORGAN team carefully prepared materials for the trial and initiated debt collection. Faced with our legal support for the client, the developer proposed to enter into a mediation agreement to avoid further litigation. Under the mediation agreement, the construction company voluntarily paid the client the entire debt in the amount of 13,000,000 tenge.

Not the first successful case of refund under a reservation agreement

This is far from the first successful case of debt collection under a reservation agreement that our company has handled. We have accumulated significant experience in protecting the rights of equity holders and investors in the primary real estate market. Thanks to our efforts, clients receive legal protection that helps them return funds even in the face of shortcomings in legislation and insufficient protection for equity holders.

KORGAN continues to defend the interests of equity holders and encourages buyers of primary real estate to carefully approach the choice of developers and the legal execution of contracts. If you are faced with a violation of obligations by a developer, our specialists are ready to provide you with reliable legal protection.

By contacting KORGAN, you receive professional support at every stage of the legal process, from document preparation to effective dispute resolution. We guarantee quality services, an individual approach and transparent cooperation so that you feel confident and calm about the result.
With our help, you will be confident in the reliability of the protection of your rights and interests.

Liquidation of a company without bankruptcy proceedings: successful resolution of a dispute by the law firm KORGAN

The client contacted the KORGAN law firm to liquidate the company without initiating bankruptcy proceedings in accordance with the provisions of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated March 7, 2014 No. 176-V “On Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy”. According to Chapter 7 of this law, liquidation of a debtor without initiating bankruptcy proceedings is possible if the debtor is absent or if a set of circumstances stipulated by law are provided for in relation to him.

Our specialists filed an application for liquidation with the court, however, during the execution of the task, the application for liquidation was left without consideration, due to the fact that the parties entered into a settlement agreement at the execution stage, which we submitted for approval by the court.

Difficulties and features of providing company liquidation services

The main difficulty was in changing the direction of the case. At the initial stage, KORGAN initiated the liquidation process in accordance with the requirements of Article 113 of the Law. However, there was a need for flexible adaptation and prompt response to changes in the situation. Reconciliation of the parties at the execution stage became possible due to the active actions of our specialists aimed at achieving mutual understanding between the debtor and the creditor.

The essence of the problem arose in the conflict between the debtor and the creditor regarding dividends and penalties for payment, which led to the filing of a claim for the liquidation of the company. However, the parties were able to reach an agreement and resolve the dispute peacefully by approving a settlement agreement. Thanks to this, it was possible to save time. If the agreement had not been reached, the company would most likely have faced lengthy litigation.

This approach made it possible to avoid litigation, a protracted process and associated costs for the client.

Remember: timely appeal to professionals often helps to prevent serious problems in the future. Trust your legal issues to the experts of the KORGAN law firm – focus on what is really important to you.

Business immigrants in Kazakhstan: changes in legislation

Business immigrants play an important role in the economic development of Kazakhstan, and the new legislation opens up new opportunities for them. However, for successful integration into the business environment, it is necessary to carefully monitor compliance with migration requirements.

On May 28, 2024, changes to the conduct of business activities for foreigners came into force in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

According to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Migration of the Population”: “The creation of a legal entity, as well as participation in the authorized capital of commercial organizations by joining the composition of participants in legal entities, is prohibited for foreigners who have not received an entry visa or a temporary residence permit as business immigrants, with the exception of immigrants who have a residence permit for a foreigner or a stateless person certificate.”

New requirements for business immigrants

Previously, citizens of the EAEU countries did not need a business immigrant visa (C5 visa) to conduct business in Kazakhstan. Now, according to the changes, the creation of a legal entity or participation in the authorized capital of commercial organizations is prohibited without obtaining a visa or a temporary residence permit. The only exceptions are those foreigners who have a residence permit or stateless status.

According to Article 6-1 of the Law “On Migration of the Population” of Kazakhstan, a temporary residence permit is issued on the basis of applications from local executive bodies for immigrants who have arrived for the purpose of doing business.

To successfully conduct business in Kazakhstan, it is also important to take into account migration regulations. Before registering a Kazakhstan LLP, a foreigner must obtain a business immigrant TRP or obtain a C5 visa.

A business immigrant is an immigrant who has arrived for the purpose of carrying out entrepreneurial activity in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Who needs a Business Immigrant TRP?

These changes affect citizens of countries with which Kazakhstan has signed international agreements on visa-free entry, including the EAEU states (Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia and Belarus), as well as Azerbaijan and Tajikistan.

How to obtain a temporary residence permit for a Business Immigrant?

According to the new rules, in order to obtain a temporary residence permit (TRP), business immigrants must prepare certain documents:

  • A passport with a stamp on crossing the border (it is recommended to provide both passports: domestic and foreign).
  • An identification number (IIN), which must be issued for the foreign passport with which you crossed the border.
  • Residential address in the country of citizenship.
  • A notarized consent from the owner of the property (required for each foreigner).
  • Notification of stay, which is submitted through the websites vmp.gov.kz or eqonaq.kz from the owner of the property or hotel.
  • A certificate of no criminal record issued by the competent authority of the country of citizenship or permanent place of residence residence.
  • A document confirming the absence of a ban on conducting business activities (if such a certificate is required by the legislation of the country of citizenship).
  • Fingerprinting (passport, IIN and notification are required).
  • Medical insurance covering primary and specialized medical care, in compliance with the minimum requirements established by the legislation of Kazakhstan.
  • Medical certificate 028/u, confirming the absence of diseases that interfere with work activity.

The cost of services for obtaining a temporary residence permit is 250,000 tenge, and the processing time is from 1 to 2 days from the moment of collecting all the necessary documents.

Timeframe for obtaining a Permit

The timeframe for obtaining a Business Immigrant Temporary Residence Permit is from 1 to 3 business days from the moment of collecting all the necessary documents.

Cost of obtaining a Business Immigrant Permit

Obtaining a Business Immigrant Temporary Residence Permit with the support of our lawyers will be 250,000 tenge.

Notary fees and translation costs are paid separately.

Stages for obtaining a permit

First stage – submission of the necessary documents by a foreign individual, specified above (provide a certificate of no criminal record, medical certificates, consent from the owner of the property for residence, fingerprinting data, and other documents). Documents are submitted to the Registration Authority at the place of registration of the owner of the property.

Before arriving in Kazakhstan, it is necessary to obtain a certificate of the presence or absence of a criminal record in the country of citizenship (the certificate is valid for 180 days from the date of receipt), as well as a document confirming the absence of a ban on entrepreneurial activity (if such a certificate is required by the legislation of the country of citizenship).

Before submitting documents for a Business Immigrant RVP, a notification of entry is submitted, an IIN is issued, a notarized consent of the owner is notarized, and it is also necessary to undergo fingerprinting, a medical examination, etc.

The second stage is the registration of an LLP in the Registration Authority with the personal presence of a foreigner who has received a Business Immigrant RVP. When submitting an application, it is necessary to provide a document confirming the right to register a commercial organization in the Republic of Kazakhstan (in this case, a Business Immigrant Temporary Residence Permit), a copy of the passport or other document certifying the identity of the foreign founder, with a notarized translation into Kazakh and Russian, as well as the decision/minutes of the general meeting on the opening of an LLP.

You can read more about opening a LLP with us in our article, as well as about the benefits of registering a legal entity with KORGAN.

Third stage – after opening a legal entity, based on a petition from local executive bodies on entrepreneurship issues with the required list of documents, a temporary residence permit is issued for one year with the possibility of annual extension up to 3 years.

At the first stage, a temporary residence permit is issued for 3 months. It is assumed that a foreign citizen must have time to register a legal entity during the specified period. After registering a legal entity, the company submits an application for a temporary residence permit for up to 12 months.

Is the personal presence of a foreign citizen required to obtain a temporary residence permit for a business immigrant?

We can submit documents by Power of Attorney, but we attach the original passport and a copy of the notification of entry into Kazakhstan.

Where can I get a certificate of no criminal record?

This certificate is obtained in the country of citizenship.

Medical certificates can be obtained in Kazakhstan.

Obtaining IIN and BIN in Kazakhstan

An individual identification number (IIN) is a 12-digit number that is issued to each individual upon his first registration in the information and production system to create documents.

The IIN is generated automatically, taking into account the concepts of uniqueness and immutability. It is not subject to any changes or regeneration from the moment of its first formation, in order to protect the integrity of the contents of information banks of various levels that use the IIN in the data structure.
IIN is indicated on the front side of the identity card of a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Individuals are identified by government agencies using IIN.

As a result, in order to access public services, individuals must have an IIN, for example for:

  • receiving identification documents;
  • marriage registration;
  • state registration of real estate and cars;
  • making payments and transfers;
  • paying taxes;
  • business registration.

A non-resident must obtain an IIN in order to create a legal entity in Kazakhstan.

The assignment of IIN to foreigners is carried out by the migration police of Kazakhstan from January 1, 2021 through the Non-Commercial Joint Stock Company State Corporation “Government for Citizens”.

The service is now provided electronically, with the corresponding certificate issued as an electronic document in PDF format based on the results of the service.

Documents required for registration of a foreigner’s IIN

1. A copy of the foreigner’s passport, which must be scanned.

If the foreigner’s passport does not contain identification data (last name, first name, patronymic and place of birth) written in Cyrillic, a copy of the certified translation of the passport into Cyrillic must be attached.

We also wanted to dwell a little more on how the IIN is still deciphered:

  • The first six digits indicate the date, month, day of your birth;

Registration, re-registration of companies

The most common organizational and legal form for creating a commercial legal entity in the territory of Kazakhstan is a Limited Liability Partnership.

Article 2 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Limited Liability and Additional Liability Partnerships” establishes that a limited liability partnership is a partnership established by one or more persons, the authorized capital of which is divided into shares of sizes determined by the founding documents; participants in a limited liability partnership are not liable for its obligations and bear the risk of losses associated with the activities of the partnership, to the extent of the value of their contributions.

It follows from this that the founders of the partnership are liable only in proportion to their contributions, this fact saves the founders of the partnership from high risks, limiting them (risks).

The founder of an LLP can be both an individual and a legal entity, while they can also be non-residents of the Republic of Kazakhstan. With the development of foreign economic relations, the creation of an LLP with foreign participation is becoming an increasingly popular service.

Registration of an LLP in accordance with the Standard (State registration of legal entities, record registration of their branches and representative offices) is carried out in two ways: on purpose, through the PSC branches, or through the EGOV portal (if all founders have an EDS).

The creation and registration of an LLP consists of 3 steps:

  • Drafting constituent documents;
  • LLP registration;
  • Concluding a lease agreement, opening an account, insurance, VAT registration.

First step: When drafting constituent documents, it is determined:

  • LLP name (checked within a few minutes on the EGOV portal to exclude matches);
  • Address of location of the future LLP (own or rented property);
  • Type of economic activity (for the agency of statistics, also OKED determines whether a license is required for the further operation of the LLP);
  • The size of the authorized capital and the share of the founders are determined (there can be one or more founders);
  • The head of the LLP (Director, General Director, etc.) is selected; he can be either the founder or another selected individual.

The founding documents are:

  • Decision (with the Sole participant of the LLP) or Minutes of the general meeting of the participants of the LLP (from two founders and above);
  • Memorandum of Association;
  • The charter of the partnership (it can be standard or drawn up according to one’s own wishes, taking into account the form established by law);
  • Order on assuming the position of director of the LLP.

Second step: direct registration of the LLP:

  • By submitting constituent documents and the necessary information through the nearest PSC department (within one business day following the day the application was submitted);
  • Electronic registration of an LLP through the EGOV portal if all participants of the future legal entity have an EDS (within 15 minutes).

Third step

Here, the final steps are already being taken, the first of which is the conclusion of a lease agreement or obtaining a notarized consent of the owner (individual) to use the premises (buildings, houses, etc.).

After the conclusion of the lease agreement or obtaining consent, a bank account is opened, the LLP is registered for VAT and other actions are carried out in accordance with the wishes of the founder (lei).

With foreign participation, in the created LLP, a few more processes are added to the above processes:

  • Obtaining an IIN for a non-resident individual (a notarized translation of the passport into Kazakh is required);
  • Obtaining a BIN if the founder is a non-resident legal entity (a notarized translation into Kazakh and Russian of a legalized extract from the trade register is required.
