Service fees start from KZT 450,000. We provide an individual quotation based on your current stage and the scope of assistance required.
Who is the C5 business immigrant visa for?
The C5 category is intended for foreign nationals entering Kazakhstan for entrepreneurial activity. It may be relevant when establishing a company or acquiring an ownership interest in an existing Kazakhstan business.
The appropriate procedure depends on your nationality, immigration status and business plans. We assess these details before preparing the application.
Legal assistance from invitation to business registration
Foreign entrepreneurs often need more than a document checklist. They need to understand the correct sequence of visa applications, company registration and the approvals required for continued stay.
We help coordinate these stages so that the invitation, visa application, corporate documents and business plan are consistent with the proposed activity.
- Assessment of the applicant’s circumstances and business plans.
- Preparation and submission assistance for the invitation.
- Guidance on the initial C5 visa application.
- Assistance with opening a Kazakhstan LLP, locally known as a TOO.
- Business plan preparation based on the entrepreneur’s actual project.
- Preparation and submission assistance for the relevant Akimat application.
- Support with the subsequent visa extension procedure.
- Ongoing assistance with renewals, including annual extensions where applicable.
Typical situations we help with
A foreign entrepreneur is preparing to open a company
An entrepreneur plans to launch a business in Kazakhstan but needs legal guidance on the invitation, visa application and company registration sequence.
We assess the appropriate procedure, assist with the invitation and explain the initial visa application requirements. After arrival, we help coordinate the LLP registration and the documents needed for the next immigration stage.
A business owner needs Akimat support for a visa extension
An entrepreneur has obtained an initial C5 visa and registered a Kazakhstan company. The next step is to prepare the supporting business documents and request the relevant letter from the local executive authority, known as the Akimat.
We help prepare the business plan, organize the supporting company documents and submit the application to the appropriate Akimat department. Once the required support is obtained, we assist with the visa extension application to the migration authorities.
An established entrepreneur needs another renewal
A foreign business owner is continuing operations in Kazakhstan and needs to prepare for the expiry of the current C5 visa.
We review the existing visa, company documents and evidence of business activity. We then identify the applicable renewal requirements, assist with the necessary applications and help plan the process before the visa expires.
C5 invitation and initial visa application
We assist with preparing the invitation documents and submitting them for consideration by the competent authorities.
After approval of the invitation, we guide the applicant through the relevant visa submission procedure, including checking the passport details, application form and supporting certificates.
Invitation approval and visa issuance are separate stages. The final decisions are made by the competent authorities.
Opening an LLP in Kazakhstan
After the initial immigration stage, we can assist with establishing a Kazakhstan limited liability partnership — LLP or TOO — and preparing the related corporate documents.
We coordinate the company registration steps with the entrepreneur’s immigration plan and explain which actions and documents are needed before applying for further stay.
If the founder also intends to work as the company’s executive, we separately assess the relevant employment and immigration requirements.
Business plan preparation
A business plan should explain the proposed activity and reflect the entrepreneur’s actual project. We help structure the information needed for the relevant application.
Depending on the project and the receiving authority’s requirements, the plan may cover:
- The company’s products or services.
- The target market and planned customers.
- The location and operating model.
- Planned investment and sources of funding.
- Expected revenue and operating expenses.
- Existing or planned jobs.
- The implementation schedule and expected economic contribution.
We work with the information and supporting documents provided by the entrepreneur to prepare a clear and consistent business plan.
Documents for the Akimat and C5 visa extension
Where the procedure requires a supporting letter from the local executive authority, we assist with preparing and submitting the application to the appropriate Akimat department.
The supporting package may include company registration documents, evidence of the applicant’s participation in the business, a business plan and documents showing the company’s operations.
Additional information may be requested about premises, investment, employees, banking activity or tax compliance. The exact checklist depends on the relevant authority and the circumstances of the business.
Obtaining Akimat support does not itself extend the visa. We also assist with the subsequent application to the migration authorities.
Annual renewals and ongoing support
We help clients with subsequent C5 visa renewals, including annual extensions where applicable. Our support is available both to entrepreneurs we assisted from the beginning and to business owners who already have a Kazakhstan company and a C5 visa.
Before each application, we review the current visa, company status and supporting grounds. We identify which documents need updating and whether further Akimat support is required.
The period granted depends on the applicable rules and the decision of the competent authorities. We plan the renewal around the actual expiry date of your visa.
Documents for a C5 visa
The checklist varies between the initial application and later extensions. Depending on the stage, it may include:
- A valid passport, application form and photograph.
- An approved invitation and visa support details.
- Medical certificates and insurance.
- A criminal record certificate.
- Information about restrictions on entrepreneurial activity, where required.
- Company registration and ownership documents.
- A business plan and evidence of business activity.
- The relevant Akimat supporting letter.
- Confirmation of payment of applicable government or consular fees.
We provide a personalized checklist and explain any translation, notarization, apostille or legalization requirements before you obtain the documents.
