Kazakhstan seeks to issue visas in e-format
Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry intends to start issuing visas in electronic format.
First Deputy Foreign Minister Rapil Zhoshybayev made the remark
at a press conference in Astana on July 10.
"The ministry initiated amendments to the existing rules of issuing
Kazakh visas. The basis of new edition of the rules will include
such innovations as automation and integration of services for
registration of electronic visas, what will exclude the
person-to-person contact and greatly simplify the issuance of
visas," Zhoshybayev said.
He said an inter-departmental working group has been created to
develop a new legal act, which will greatly simplify visa issuance
for foreign investors and tourists.
Under the new rules, investors are envisaged to receive single
visas for up to 30 days of stay. These visas are issued by
Kazakhstan's embassies abroad.
The investors arriving in Kazakhstan with their families will get a
separate category of investor visas for family members. The
business and investor visas are also assumed to be renewable.
