State Duty In Kazakhstan: Payment Guide For Non-Residents

Foreign companies and individuals applying to government authorities or courts of the Republic of Kazakhstan often encounter a non-standard procedure for paying the state duty. To avoid delays, document returns, or repeated payments, it is important to understand in advance how a non-resident can make the payment and what specific nuances must be taken into account.

Non-residents of Kazakhstan who apply for legally significant actions or file a claim with a court must pay the state duty in a special manner. If a non-resident does not have a branch or representative office in Kazakhstan, the payment is made in foreign currency to the accounts of the Treasury Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan held with the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan ("NBK").
