Open a bank account in Kazakhstan for foreigners located in Kazakhstan and beyond.

Kazakhstani banks provide account opening services for foreign citizens located in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. A foreigner needs to obtain an Individual Identification Number (IIN) for it.

To obtain an IIN, foreigners must obtain temporary registration with the migration police and go through the registration procedure with the tax authorities of Kazakhstan. Only a notarized copy of the passport (with translation into Russian or Kazakh) is required in this step. The terms for issuing an IIN certificate for foreign individuals are 3 business days.

The following documents are required to open a bank account in Kazakhstan:

1. Mobile phone with local (Kazakhstan) number;
2. Passport;
3. Any of the documents confirming the IIN:

– original or copy of tax registration certificate;

– confirmation issued by the Public Service Center – Registration data of an individual;

– certificate of registration of an Individual Identification Number;

– document from egov.kz – Register of Taxpayers of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

4. Any of the documents confirming the right to stay in Kazakhstan:

– a visa or a document replacing a visa;

– a stamp in the passport on crossing the border of the Republic of Kazakhstan;
