What to arrange for your goal
Employment
The employer obtains a work permit and the employee a C3 visa. For equipment installation and servicing under a contract, a B2 visa may be the right fit.
Your own company
An Indian citizen can register an LLP (TOO) in Kazakhstan. To manage the company on site, a C5 business immigrant visa or another status is chosen in advance.
Long-term stay
For a stay covering the period of work or business, an RVP is issued; family members apply together with the main applicant.
Documents from your country
India and Kazakhstan are both parties to the 1961 Hague Convention, so official Indian documents are certified with an apostille. In India, the apostille is issued by the Ministry of External Affairs; some documents first need verification by state authorities.
After the apostille, the document is translated into Kazakh or Russian and the translation is notarized. Diplomas and qualification certificates are often needed for a work permit, so they are prepared in advance.
The required documents depend on the visa category and on who is inviting you. We check the package before filing.
Entry and stay rules change. Before your trip, we check the requirements against current regulations and your situation.
Frequently asked questions
How long can an Indian citizen stay in Kazakhstan without a visa?
Up to 14 calendar days per entry, and no more than 42 days in total within a 180-day period. The visa-free regime is intended for tourism, business and private trips, but not for work or study.
Can an Indian citizen work under the visa-free regime?
No. Work requires permit documents and a suitable visa, usually a C3. They must be obtained before you start working.
Which visa should I get for negotiations longer than 14 days?
Usually a category B business visa: B3 for meetings and negotiations, B1 for business trips and events. We'll choose the category based on the purpose of your trip.
Can an Indian national open an LLP (TOO) in Kazakhstan?
Yes, a foreign national can be the founder of an LLP (TOO). Registering a company does not by itself give the right to a long-term stay; the status is chosen separately.
Which language do you work in?
We communicate with clients from India in English and prepare documents for government agencies in Kazakh or Russian.
