Kazakhstan has launched Digital Nomad Residency, a new type
of visa designed to attract global IT talent. The pilot project aims not only
to attract foreign specialists working in information technology but also
provide them with the opportunity to obtain a permanent residence permit in the
country. Foreign IT specialists can apply through the Astana Hub portal, with
applications processed within 45 calendar days. After that, candidates can
finalize their registration process in Kazakhstan.
«The Digital Nomad and Digital Nomad Residency visas
launched in Kazakhstan are fundamentally different from the current visa
options, as they are specifically tailored to in-demand IT professions. A key
aspect is that the list of eligible IT professions is limited to those
classified as in-demand occupations. These visas primarily target IT
specialists, allowing them to work remotely for both foreign and local
companies. This also opens up opportunities for IT specialists to visit
Kazakhstan after obtaining, for example, a Digital Nomad e-visa,» said Talgat
Maratov, Director of the Astana Hub Participant Support Office.
