Questions & answers
What are the grounds for permanent residence?
Grounds are set by migration law: family ties to Kazakh citizens, ethnic origin, long-term lawful residence and others. We identify the right one during the assessment.
How long does it take?
It depends on your basis and how quickly documents can be gathered, especially from abroad. We give you a realistic timeline after the assessment.
Do I need a temporary permit first?
For many grounds, permanent residence follows a period on a temporary permit, though there are exceptions. We plan the sequence for your case.
Can I work with permanent residence?
Yes — permanent residents can generally work without a separate employer permit. We confirm the details for your situation.
Can you guarantee approval?
The authorities decide, so no one can guarantee the outcome. We reduce refusal risk with a thorough eligibility review and a flawless file.
