Kazakhstan Developing A Pilot Project For Issuing IINs To Foreign Nationals

An Individual Identification Number (IIN) for foreign nationals and stateless persons temporarily residing in the country. Under this initiative, Kazakhstani diplomatic missions and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) would accept applications and issue IINs to various categories of foreign nationals, significantly reducing processing time and streamlining the procedure.

The proposed system would apply to investors, exporters, spouses of Kazakhstani citizens, foreign heirs, participants in the Digital Nomad Residency and Digital Nomad Visa programs, as well as individuals with disabilities and those over 65 years old. Additionally, staff members of diplomatic missions would be eligible to obtain IINs through the MFA of Kazakhstan.
