Obtaining TRP and residence permit for citizens of the Russian Federation in Kazakhstan

If you plan to obtain an IIN in Kazakhstan, open a bank account, start your own business, then Russian citizens are recommended to enter Kazakhstan using a foreign passport, since the presence of this document simplifies many procedures, and in some cases they are generally possible only using a foreign passport.

After crossing the border, the receiving party must notify the migration service of the arrival of a foreigner through the visa and migration portal (or on purpose through the migration service) within three working days, indicating the address and length of stay (maximum 90 calendar days from the date of entry into Kazakhstan).

For a longer stay in Kazakhstan (up to a year), a Russian citizen can apply for a temporary residence permit, but for this you must have one of the following grounds:

  • for the purpose of family reunification;
  • for the purpose of employment;
  • for the purpose of carrying out missionary activities;
  • business immigrant;
  • treatment;
  • study.

For Russian citizens, the easiest way is to find a job in Kazakhstan and apply for a TRP on the basis of employment, since this does not require any permits due to the presence of a ratified EAEU agreement.

To do this, you need to go to the PSC with an employment contract, passport, fill out a questionnaire and submit an application.

To obtain a permanent residence permit, it will already be necessary to collect a lot more documents and confirm solvency by having funds in the bank account in the minimum amount of 1300 MCI.
