It is available to citizens of all countries who can demonstrate a stable income from foreign sources. Family members and dependents of the primary visa holder can also receive visas for the same duration.

This visa does not permit еmployment within Kazakhstan, as income must come from outside the country, exempting holders from local tax obligations.
