Under its new migration policy, Kazakhstan plans to assess permanent-residence applicants based on age, health, education, work experience, language skills, income and other criteria. The policy also предусматривает digital migration management and applications through the migration.enbek.kz platform.
According to the source, permanent residence is expected to become more selective, with applicants assessed on their professional profile, integration potential and financial stability. This could particularly affect foreigners planning a long-term move, as assessment is intended to take place before entry and may include tests, questionnaires and interviews. At the same time, migration procedures are expected to become more digital through a unified online system. People considering Kazakhstan for permanent relocation should follow the rollout and prepare evidence of education, work experience, income and language skills.
