Questions about this service

When is an RVP required?

When a foreign national stays in Kazakhstan longer than the visa or visa-free regime allows, or has come to work, study or join family. It must be obtained before the permitted period expires.

Who files the documents?

The host party applies — the employer, company or relative. We prepare the documents and accompany the filing.

Can family members get an RVP?

Yes: a spouse and children receive an RVP on the ground of family reunification for the same term as the main applicant.

What happens if the deadline is missed?

Overstaying is an administrative offence with a fine and a possible entry ban. We track the deadlines and remind you in advance.
