Neo Nomad Visa to Attract Remote Workers
In November 2024, Kazakhstan introduced the new Neo-Nomad visa to attract remote workers to the country.
The visa allows foreigners to live in Kazakhstan for more than 12 months while working for companies or clients located in other countries.
The program targets internationals engaged in several fields, based on a statement from the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of Kazakhstan.
The visa targets tourists working remotely in various fields, from programming, marketing, and finance to consulting, design, and e-commerce.
The introduction of the program, according to authorities in Kazakhstan, would bring a significant contribution to the country’s economy without competing in the labour market.
The Minister of Tourism and Sports of Kazakhstan, Yerbol Myrzabossynov, said his country is now part of a travel map for modern nomads.
There are over 35 million such individuals globally, and we aim to create all the conditions to attract them to our country. Moreover, the cities of Almaty and Astana are already among the top 150 cities attractive to neo-nomads.
Recently, the Minister told the Astana Times that Kazakhstan can become a favourite place for neo-nomads.
2 More Internationals Received Neo Nomad Visa
In January this year, authorities in Kazakhstan revealed that two more nationals received the Neo Nomad Visa. One of them was a resident of South Korea while the other came from Singapore.
Kazakhstan’s Neo Nomad visa program launched in November 2024, has started to attract nationals from foreign countries.
According to a report from Astana, the first recipient of the Neo Nomad visa was a United Kingdom national employed in the energy sector.
Kazakhstan’s new Neo Nomad visa is expected to bring a significant contribution to the country’s economic sector, while also bringing in a large number of digital nomads.
