How WPK can help you?
  • Consultations and advisory

  • Support with registration of departure for permanent residence from Kazakhstan and cancellation of Residence Permit (pink card)

  • Translation and notarization of documents

  • Representation of interests by power of attorney

  • Interaction with the pension fund and registration of the return of savings

We received a request on return of pension savings from a Canadian citizen who had been working in Kazakhstan for more than 15 years based on the Residence Permit and planned to return to Canada.

According to the migration legislation, foreign citizens travelling outside of Kazakhstan to their places of permanent residence are obliged to notify the migration service bodies about their departure and return their residence permits (pink cards) for further cancellation. Also in accordance with the Law on pension provision in the RoK, pension savings of the foreign citizens accumulated during their period of work in Kazakhstan can be refunded.

We rendered the following service to the client prior his departure outside of Kazakhstan to the place of his permanent residence:
1. Cancelled residence permit and return of the residence permit to the migration service.
2. Issued a power of attorney for our consultants to represent the interests of the client at the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund (ENPF).
3. Applied to the ENPF. Pension savings of the client accumulated during a period of his work in Kazakhstan were successfully enrolled on the bank account within 10 working days.
IMPORTANT

Persons who have not formalized their exit from Kazakhstan for permanent residence in a timely manner will not be able to apply for a refund of their pension savings.

Often these are:
  1. former compatriots who have received citizenship of another country and surrendered their passport of a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan without formalizing their exit from Kazakhstan for permanent residence.
  2. foreigners whose temporary residence permit has already expired and has not been extended.
