WNAM MONITORING: The Republic of Kazakhstan is taking another step toward fostering international business. At the initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan new regulations have been approved for obtaining an investor visa, aimed at enhancing the country’s investment appeal and supporting long-term business partnerships, as reported by the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Turkmenistan on Thursday.
Under the new regulations, foreign nationals who invest at least $300,000 in the charter capital of Kazakh companies or in local securities will be eligible to apply online for an investor visa. This “golden visa” also offers a pathway to long-term residency for up to 10 years.
The launch of the program creates a stable and attractive environment for foreign investors, offering legal safeguards and reinforcing confidence in the Kazakhstan’s economy. The new framework reflects Kazakhstan’s strategic focus on attracting international capital, protecting investments, and strengthening economic ties with global partners.
The new regulations will take effect 10 days after their official publication.
Golden visa programs are formal schemes that grant residency or citizenship to foreign investors and their families in exchange for financial contributions to the host country’s economy. Similar initiatives are already in place in several countries across Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, and other regions.
