Which family relationships qualify?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm which family relationships qualify.

Limits of the record
  • Searched the C2 section (8f0f447b0ac20153.txt) and the labour Q&A (38da56146b739cef.txt) for which relatives qualify (spouse, child, parent, dependant). The C2 text only says "family members" of listed sponsors; the "married for at least one year" parenthetical is a proof condition used in r3. Sponsor material moved to r2.

Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The sponsor (inviting person) may be: a Kazakh citizen permanently residing in Kazakhstan; an ethnic Kazakh or former compatriot; a person who has received a Kazakh temporary residence permit (for a period of at least two years); a foreigner or stateless person permanently residing in Kazakhstan; or a business immigrant. A notarised copy of the inviting person's temporary residence permit is required, except where the inviting person is a Kazakh citizen.

What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

A notarised copy of a document confirming the family relationship with the inviting person, issued by authorised state bodies of Kazakhstan or a foreign state, is required; a marriage must have lasted at least one year and be recognised under Kazakh law. Notarised copies of the identity documents of the inviting person and the family members are also required.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

The inviting person must show money for the maintenance of each family member of at least the monthly minimum wage set by the republican budget law; must provide a notarised copy of proof of housing in Kazakhstan meeting minimum area standards per family member under the 16 April 1997 Law "On Housing Relations"; and medical insurance is required for the family members.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

The application is supported by a request from the inviting person in any form. C2 is issued as a single-entry visa for up to 90 days, or a multiple-entry visa for up to 1 year, valid for the whole visa duration or for the inviting person's registration period (except where the inviting person is a Kazakh citizen). The official source does not state the family member's rights, such as work or study, or any route to independent or longer-term status.
