Kazakhstan closed the commercial representation in Russia. This is stated in the corresponding decree of the government of the country dated February 22, 2023.
The document enters into force from the date of its signature. Earlier, the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the republic announced that it plans to abolish the trade mission in the Russian Federation. The decision is related to the optimization of the work of government agencies. It should be noted that today in Russia there are institutional conditions for the development of Kazakh business.
In 2022, Kazakhstan has become one of the most popular relocation destinations for Russians. In October, 13 times more funds were sent to the republic from Russia than a year earlier.
However, in February this year, Astana tightened the rules for obtaining a residence permit for foreigners. Previously, it was enough for Russians who came for a long time to present an internal passport.
