I am from Russia and often visit Kazakhstan for business. Can I apply for a multiple-entry visa for several years, so as not to apply before each visit? If so, what are the requirements?
Irina Kudryavtseva, Russian citizens in most cases do not need a visa to enter Kazakhstan for up to 90 days every 180 days. However, for a longer stay or regular trips, you can apply for a business multiple-entry visa through the Kazakh consulates. You will need to provide an invitation from a Kazakh company and justify the frequency of visits.
My company is planning to open a branch in Almaty. What type of visa is suitable for me as a supervisor? Do I need a preliminary contract with a Kazakhstani legal entity?
Nevena Djukanovic, Branch managers usually require a business or work visa. If you are the founder of a company, you can request an investor visa. If you are employed by a foreign parent company, you will need a work permit in Kazakhstan, which is issued on the basis of a contract with a branch.
DD! My family and I are planning to move to Kazakhstan. What type of visa is better to apply for minor children? Is their presence required at the interview when submitting documents?
Vida Lesjak, Good afternoon! A dependent family member visa (Family Visa) is usually issued for children. If they accompany parents applying for a work or study visa, their documents will be linked to yours. The presence of children at the interview is rarely required, but it is better to clarify this at a specific consulate.
