Adoptions in Kazakhstan continue to be processed, with the recent slow down starting to abate. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is checking all dossiers with extreme care. The adoption dossier is now required to have the translations attached to each page, as opposed to the previous updates advising that translations should be all together at the back of the dossier.

The issuance of business visas to Kazakhstan is based on the invitations from Kazakhstan legal entities (not required for up to one month single entry visas). The invitation must be registered by the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kazakhstan. Having the invitation registered, the inviting party should send the same invitation with registration number to the person applying for a visa.

IFES has worked in Kazakhstan, primarily under USAID funding, since 1994--conducting projects of civic education, civil society development and technical election assistance. Since 1998, IFES has been engaged in civic education projects for high school students, developing a textbook and several interactive student classroom and extracurricular projects. Successful piloting of these projects has led to their adaptation by IFES for use in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and proposed use in Uzbekistan.
