Questions & answers
What is Digital Nomad Residency?
It's a programme that lets foreign tech professionals live in Kazakhstan while working remotely for employers or clients abroad. Applications are handled with Astana Hub.
What income do I need to show?
The programme sets a minimum income threshold that may be revised. We check the current requirement at the time of filing and review your evidence in advance.
Can I work for a Kazakh company?
The programme is designed for work with foreign employers and clients. If you plan to work for a Kazakh entity, we'll find another route, such as a work permit or Astana Hub membership.
Can I bring my family?
Whether family members can join depends on the rules in force. We check the options and prepare documents for the whole family.
How will my income be taxed?
Tax treatment depends on your length of stay and tax residency. We provide initial guidance and bring in a tax adviser if needed.
