What is a notification of arrival of a foreign citizen
A notification of arrival in Kazakhstan is a mandatory procedure through which the state learns where a foreigner who has come to the country is staying. The obligation to file it lies primarily with the host party: a company, a hotel or a private individual with whom the guest is staying. SSS Consult in Almaty takes this procedure off your hands and makes sure the deadlines are met.
Many people confuse the notification with the registration of foreigners in Kazakhstan. In essence, it is the same procedure: registration takes place through the notification of arrival. Once it has been filed, the foreigner may legally stay in the country within the permitted period.
Who files the notification
- The employer, if a foreign specialist has arrived at the company's invitation.
- A hotel, for its guests.
- A private individual, if the foreigner is staying with relatives or friends.
- A landlord or an organization that has provided the accommodation.
Why it is important not to be late
The notification is filed within the established period after entry. If the host party is late or provides incorrect details, administrative liability arises for both the host and the foreigner. A violation can complicate a visa extension, a TRP application and future entries. Deadlines and rules differ depending on citizenship, so it is better to check them in advance.
