Kazakhstan and France agree on readmission of citizens
The Kazakh Majilis ratified the Readmission Agreement between the Governments of Kazakhstan and France concluded on November 5, 2024, in Paris, Qazinform News Agency reports.
The agreement is purposed to create legal framework for bilateral cooperation on readmission of people staying in the territories of the two countries in violation of national laws.
The document provides for the return of citizens to their country of nationality if they have violated conditions of stay, for example, through the loss of identity documents.
Kazakh citizens will be able to return from France in cases where competent authorities are notified of the loss of identity documents or illegal residence in that country — without the application of any sanctions. The French Ministry of the Interior will assist them in processing the necessary documents for their return home.
In addition, the agreement ensures coordination and orderly procedures for the reception, transfer, and transit of third-country nationals and stateless persons to their countries of nationality or permanent residence.
Earlier, Kazakhstan ratified a similar readmission agreement with Estonia.
