    Kazakhstan introduces new requirements for foreigners seeking citizenship

    Kazakhstan introduces new requirements for foreigners seeking citizenship

    The Republic of Kazakhstan has implemented changes to the process of obtaining Kazakhstani citizenship for foreigners. The amendments, outlined in an order from the Minister of Internal Affairs and published on the "Open Legal Entities" portal, introduce additional documentation and requirements for those seeking citizenship. The modifications come into effect following discussions and are scheduled for further deliberation until January 23, Tengrinews reported.

    One significant change pertains to the submission of documents by foreigners wishing to acquire Kazakhstani citizenship. A new certificate of fingerprinting for foreigners or stateless persons must now be included with the citizenship application. This certificate is to be obtained in accordance with the rules for conducting fingerprinting and genomic registration, as approved by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated January 31, 2018, under No. 36.

    The introduced clause falls within Chapter 5 of the order, titled "Procedure for admission to citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan in a simplified (registration) procedure." This underscores the government's commitment to enhancing the security and identification process associated with the acquisition of citizenship.

    Furthermore, amendments have been made to the criteria for simplified admission to Kazakhstani citizenship. Notably, the new regulations allow authorities to reject an application for simplified citizenship acquisition if a foreigner simultaneously applies for a permit for permanent residence in the Republic of Kazakhstan, and there are grounds for refusal.

    Unfortunately, the document does not specify the nature of these grounds, leaving room for further clarification. This particular clause was not present in the previous rules, indicating a notable change in the evaluation process for citizenship applications.

    The order of the Minister of Internal Affairs is currently under review, and stakeholders have until January 23 to provide feedback and insights. This period allows for a comprehensive examination of the implications of the amendments and ensures that all relevant perspectives are considered.

    It's worth noting that these changes coincide with the broader requirement for foreign citizens to undergo fingerprint registration in Kazakhstan, effective from January 1, 2024. While this process is mandatory for foreigners, citizens of Kazakhstan have the option to undergo fingerprinting voluntarily. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, approximately 8000 foreigners and 7000 Kazakhstani citizens have undergone fingerprinting since the beginning of the year.
