    Life as an expat in Nur-Sultan can be hard on occasion. InterNations and the contact to fellow expats make it a lot easier for me.

Welcome to Our Expat Community in Kazakhstan!

Qoş keldiñizder, dobro pozhalovat, hello, and welcome to the InterNations expat community in Kazakhstan! InterNations is an international network that has been specially created to assist you with all the issues, large and small, of moving abroad. Many expats in Kazakhstan have greatly enjoyed the resources and advice available from fellow expats on InterNations when relocating and adapting to their new surroundings. Answers to all the questions that you may have about relocating can be found in our forums on InterNations. Previous queries in the Kazakhstan community include “what sort of visa will I require?”, “what are the golf courses like?”, and “where can I find good property to rent in Atyrau?”. Our experienced expat members will provide the answers as they are always happy to assist a newcomer. InterNations will give you access to a wealth of experience, knowledge and new friends in Kazakhstan. We want to make sure you get all the help you need both in meeting new people and in getting to know more about living and working in Kazakhstan. This is a country of fascinating people and culture, although some aspects, such as the national dish Besbarmak, may take a little getting used to.

With InterNations, you never stand alone. Whether you are moving to another country or going on a business trip somewhere — our communities around the world are there to make you feel at home wherever you are. Feel free to check out our vibrant InterNations Communities in countries like Bahrain or China.

Learn More about Being an Expat in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is the ninth-largest country in the world and has a huge range of exciting landscapes to explore, from canyons to flatlands and snow-capped mountains to deserts. This makes it ideal for anyone seeking adventure, whether you want an authentic experience with Kazakh nomads or a tranquil break by the shores of the Caspian Sea. The economy is stable, relying on oil and gas exports as well as textiles, wheat and livestock from its fertile plains. The city of Almaty and the capital Nur-Sultan are the most populous and the most popular with expats, but you can find a vibrant and engaged expat community all over this vast country.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Indonesia or Italy, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

    My husband works for an Nur-Sultan oil company all day, so I had to make my own way to settle. So glad I've found the InterNations expat community.
