Kazakhstan is taking new steps to attract international business. At the initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, updated rules for granting investor visas were approved. These innovations are aimed at increasing the country's investment attractiveness and creating conditions for long-term business cooperation, gov.kz reports.
In accordance with the new requirements, citizens of other countries who have invested at least 300 000 USD in the authorized capital of Kazakhstani enterprises or in local securities are given the opportunity to submit an electronic application for an investor visa. This “golden visa” opens up the prospect of subsequently obtaining a residence permit in the Republic of Kazakhstan for up to 10 years.
Such visa programs are widespread in world practice, including European countries, the United States, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore. They have proven their effectiveness as a mechanism for attracting capital, advanced technologies and stimulating business activity. Kazakhstan joins this practice by offering its own model of investment residency.
The introduction of the golden visa system creates a stable and predictable environment for foreign investors, providing legal guarantees and strengthening confidence in the country's investment climate.
