Although the vast majority of notaries in Kazakhstan believe that a foreign company (i.e. a foreign legal entity, the place of registration of which is not the Republic of Kazakhstan) can not have beneficially owned residential property in Kazakhstan, in fact, it is misleading.
Indeed, current legislation of Kazakhstan prohibits foreigners temporarily staying in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan to have beneficially owned residential property (by virtue of Article 9 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Legal Status of Foreigners”).

In Russia, private arbitration organizations may be confused with the Arbitration Courts. The Arbitration Courts are federal courts of specialized jurisdiction similar to the commercial divisions in New York State or interregional commercial courts in Kazakhstan.

Restrictions on purchase of property by foreigners in Kazakhstan

Can a foreigner have a house on the right of ownership in Kazakhstan?

Unfortunately, Kazakh law allows a foreign to have a house on the right of ownership only if that person is a resident of Kazakhstan.

For example, Article 9 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Legal Status of Foreigners” stipulates that foreigners in the Republic of Kazakhstan can have a house on the right of ownership (with the exception of temporarily staying foreigners).

Instruction for Lawyers

1. The Law is a kind of thing, in which everyone is competent. Any manager, Credit Officer, accounting, etc. can independently prepare any contract, as well as to give an opinion on any legal question. To do this, you need to have only one thing – a disc titled like “All contracts on the same disc” and a couple of booklets such as “All you need to know about the Law” or “How to enter into contracts”. Any contract from such a disk can be applied to all situations. Thus, a supply contract may be used, regardless of whether you are selling a stew or sophisticated equipment, domestically or abroad.
