Kazakhstan Residence Permit for Citizens of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan
A Kazakhstan residence permit for Uzbek citizens, as for citizens of Tajikistan, is issued for 3 months. We check your documents, prepare the application and support the filing in Astana and Almaty.
A Kazakhstan residence permit for Uzbek citizens, and for citizens of Tajikistan, works differently than for citizens of EAEU countries. Under current rules, the temporary residence permit for them is issued for 3 months. With such a short term, every date matters: when you entered, when you were registered on arrival, when your permitted stay ends. A mistake of a week can lead to a fine, and an incorrect address can get your documents returned.
We check your passport, entry date, place of residence and ground, prepare the application and the document package, and support the filing in Astana or Almaty. During the consultation we also look at whether you have a ground for a longer status: an employment contract, marriage to a Kazakh citizen or family in the country. If you do, we will suggest that route.
Who it is for
- Citizens of Uzbekistan who live or work in Astana or Almaty
- Citizens of Tajikistan who need to stay in Kazakhstan legally after the visa-free period
- People whose permitted stay is about to end and whose documents have not been filed yet

- Workers who want to know whether an employment ground applies to them

Timeline
Under current rules the permit is issued for 3 months.
Timelines are approximate: government agencies, consulates and banks set them.
What to watch out for
- The permit is short: the expiry date comes quickly, so you need to track it from day one
- A missed arrival notification leads to a fine for you and for your host
- The address in your documents must match where you actually live
- Rules for citizens of these countries change, so advice from friends a year ago may no longer work
FAQ
How much does it cost?
Our service fee is from $250. Government fees, translations, insurance and other mandatory costs are paid separately; we send the full estimate before you sign.
How long is a Kazakhstan residence permit for Uzbek citizens issued for?
Under current rules, for 3 months. The same term applies to citizens of Tajikistan. If you have another legal ground, such as an employment contract or family in Kazakhstan, we will check whether a longer status is possible.
Do I need to register after entering Kazakhstan?
Yes. Your host must file a notification of your arrival within the set deadline. If the property owner cannot do it, we will help arrange the notification in Astana or Almaty.
What documents do I need for the permit?
A passport, a migration card or entry stamp, documents for your place of residence and documents for your ground. The exact list depends on your situation: where you live, whether you work and whether you have family in Kazakhstan. That is why we give you the final list after the consultation and a review of your papers.
Can I get a permit for longer than three months?
It depends on the ground. Work under an employment contract, marriage to a Kazakh citizen or close relatives in the country may give you the right to a different status. We check this during the consultation, before filing.
In which cities do you support the filing?
Astana and Almaty. If you live in another city, we will explain what to do and which documents to prepare, but in-person filing support is provided in these two cities. The consultation and document check can be done remotely from any city.
What happens if I miss a deadline?
Overstaying leads to a fine, and repeated violations can have more serious consequences. If your deadline is close, send us your entry date and city, and we will tell you what can still be done in time.
Do you guarantee the result?
No. Decisions are made by government agencies, consulates and banks. We are responsible for preparing and checking documents, filing and support, and we tell you about the risks upfront.
