Kazakhstan Launches 10-Year Golden Visa and Migration Reforms to Attract Investors and Skilled Talent

Kazakhstan has introduced a new migration policy reform featuring the 'Altyn Visa,' a 10-year residency permit aimed at attracting foreign investors, skilled professionals, and entrepreneurs. The reform shifts from a permit-and-quota system to an incentive-driven model, offering tax benefits, simplified digital immigration procedures, and long-term residency options. These measures, announced by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, are part of Kazakhstan's broader economic diversification and modernization strategy to position the country as a regional hub for investment and talent.
