“We view the AIFC Expat Center as an efficient platform for consolidating government services to support investors. The launch of a joint front office with KAZAKH INVEST will ensure more convenient and faster access to key services – from visa assistance to investment consulting,” noted Gabidulla Ospankulov.

The AIFC Expat Center is a unique multifunctional hub created to provide comprehensive support to foreign investors and experts, ensuring their comfortable stay in Kazakhstan. Its operations follow a “one-stop shop” model and are conducted in English.

The joint efforts at the AIFC Expat Center are expected to provide investors with access to a more integrated support system, covering the full cycle from initial consultation to project implementation.

This step is part of a systemic approach aimed at building a convenient and transparent environment for investors and enhancing Kazakhstan’s overall investment attractiveness.
