18,350 Kazakhs Who Migrated to Kazakhstan from Foreign Countries in 2024 Were Granted the Status of "Compatriots"

Last year, 18,350 Kazakhs who migrated to Kazakhstan from foreign countries were granted the status of "compatriots."

Kazakhstan's Ministry of Labor and Social Protection has provided an update on the number of newly resettled Kazakhs in 2024.

Accordingly, 18,350 people of Kazakh origin who migrated to Kazakhstan last year were granted the status of "compatriot."

Of those granted residence permits, 45.4% were from the People's Republic of China, 38.9% from Uzbekistan, 6% from Mongolia, 5.8% from Turkmenistan, 2.7% from Russia, and the rest from other countries.

Since January, 1,070 Kazakhs have migrated to the country. Of these, 51.9% were from China.

Thus, the number of Kazakhs returning to the country since 1991, when Kazakhstan declared its independence, has reached 1,149,000.

Kazakhstan's government continues its policy of increasing the country's population, which has now reached 20 million.

Those who return to their homeland and receive "citizen" status are granted a residence permit and the right to apply for citizenship simultaneously. In addition, each family member in the process of moving to the country receives financial assistance.

They also receive support for rent and other expenses for one year.
