A good fit if

You can invest from $300,000 in a Kazakh company’s charter capital or in local publicly traded securities.
You are prepared to go through the nomination process with Kazakh Invest or the Investment Committee before filing.
You are considering long-term status for 10 years with the right to renew.
You understand this isn’t a self-filed application but a process through the authorised investment body.

A poor fit if

You expected to file directly without a nomination — without one from Kazakh Invest or the Investment Committee, the application isn’t accepted.
Your capital is below $300,000 — a single threshold applies to both types of qualifying investment.
You need a direct official page with the exact threshold — invest.gov.kz confirms the visa category itself but doesn’t publish the $300,000 figure directly; this page’s source is secondary (Fragomen).
You want a route not involving the state investment authority — the programme’s structure is built specifically around nomination through that authority.

Frequent questions

Can I apply for this visa on my own, without intermediaries?

No — per the available data, a mandatory condition is nomination by "Kazakh Invest" or Kazakhstan’s Foreign Ministry Investment Committee; applicants cannot file directly without this nomination.

Is there a difference in threshold between investing in a company vs securities?

Per the available data, no — the threshold is the same, from $300,000, for both types of qualifying investment.

Why is there no direct invest.gov.kz link with the $300,000 figure?

The official invest.gov.kz portal confirms the "investor multiple-entry visa issued at the request of the authorised investment body" category and general PR processing timelines, but doesn’t publish the specific $300,000 threshold directly — the figure is confirmed by Fragomen, an international law firm.

How long does the process take?

Per the available data, PR processing takes 45 calendar days from submission of the complete document package, with a fee of 4 MRP (monthly calculation index).

Does this visa lead to Kazakh citizenship?

No — this page covers a 10-year residence permit with the right to renew, not citizenship or a separately described path to it.

What happens if the investment is sold early?

This page does not disclose the exact consequence mechanism for an early sale or withdrawal of the investment — check with Kazakh Invest or the appointed firm before applying.
