How to get a permanent residence permit in Kazakhstan
A permanent residence permit in Kazakhstan is for a foreigner who plans to live in the country permanently rather than extend a temporary status again and again. SSS Consult in Almaty handles the residence permit process from start to finish: we assess your chances, collect the documents, prepare the petition and stay in touch until the document is issued.
The path to a residence permit has two parts. First, the foreign citizen obtains permission for permanent residence. Then, on that basis, the document itself is issued: the foreigner's residence permit. The requirements depend on the grounds, so a lawyer first reviews your specific case.
Who a residence permit in Kazakhstan is for
- foreigners who already live in the country on a TRP and want to stay long-term;
- spouses and relatives of citizens of Kazakhstan;
- ethnic Kazakhs and their families;
- entrepreneurs whose business is tied to Kazakhstan.
Where mistakes are most common
The main reasons for refusal are applying without the proper grounds, outdated certificates, discrepancies between the passport and its translation, and past violations of the rules of stay. We check your history of stay in advance and tell you honestly if it is still too early to apply.
