Upcoming digital solutions:
In October 2025, the QazETA mobile app will introduce two new features:

1. ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) – entry permits for visa-free countries

2. E-residency – a service modeled after Estonia and Seychelles, enabling foreigners to register businesses in the AIFC jurisdiction without visiting Kazakhstan

QazETA is a digital platform for foreigners that provides access to visa processing, address registration, transport services, tourism options, investment tools, and emergency contacts.
