Kazakhstan Stops Issuing IINs to Foreigners Through Embassies

According to the source, foreigners can no longer obtain an IIN through Kazakhstan’s embassies and consulates, so arranging banking access from abroad now depends on another route. People relocating must choose between obtaining the IIN in Kazakhstan in person and using eResidency with a digital IIN. The change directly affects non-residents who need a local bank card or account before moving. It is especially worth noting for anyone planning to handle financial arrangements remotely and relying on embassy-based IIN issuance.
