Our company offers assistance in opening a bank account in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. To open an account at one of the banks in the Republic of Kazakhstan, you must register with the tax inspection of this country and obtain the necessary documents. With an account in Kazakhstan, you will be able to transfer funds to your partners in various currencies: Russian rubles, euros, US dollars. Money transfers from Belarusian banks are also not restricted. The advantage of working in this country is that you have tax obligations only if you conduct commercial activities within the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Obtaining the IIN (individual identification number of the company's director in KZ), BIN (company taxpayer code in KZ) in state institutions, as well as the procedure for opening a bank account (internet banking service) remotely is not possible. It is necessary to come to the country for several days to obtain the director's taxpayer code and identify yourself at the bank. The deadlines for receiving services depend on the submission of all necessary document formats (company document package with translation and apostille, other documents as required). The entire procedure usually takes up to 3 months.
All company documents must be legalized/apostilled with a notarized and translated into Russian. The list of documents may vary depending on the bank's requirements. Bank fees are charged separately. If you are interested in our offer, please contact us, we are ready to discuss all the conditions with you.
