Amendments are being made to the regulatory document on population migration. Under the amendments, immigrants entering Kazakhstan for more than 30 calendar days “are required to register with the internal affairs authorities of the Republic of Kazakhstan no later than the thirtieth calendar day after crossing the state border.”

An exception is granted to citizens of countries with which the republic has ratified international treaties.
