Tokayev orders to fully digitize migration control

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev considers the complete digitalization of migration regulation to be a priority objective, Qazinform News Agency reports, citing Akorda.

"It is necessary to carry out a full digitalization of migration management. Indeed, this is an extremely pressing issue we have been discussing for a long time, yet positive progress remains insignificant so far. The world is facing a complicated situation. It is safe to say that migration flows are increasing across the globe. Under these conditions, Kazakhstan is becoming a convenient transit hub and an attractive destination for long-term stay for foreign migrants.

In this regard, the modernization of temporary registration systems and the monitoring of foreign nationals' movements has become a priority objective to ensure migration control. I instruct the Government, jointly with the National Security Committee, to accelerate work in this area," said the President.

Earlier, during a meeting at the Prosecutor General's Office on Monday, the President called for a fundamental rethink of cybercrime-fighting methods.
