This tip shows foreign nationals how to secure Kazakhstan e-residence, obtain a local tax number (IIN), and set up international bank accounts without visiting the country. Entering the official e-residence process through Freedom Bank's app cuts the standard registration fee from $500 to $150 per year.

3. Follow the prompt to transition into the E-RESIDENCE app/flow.
4. Complete identity registration using an international passport (заграничный паспорт).
5. Entering through the Freedom Bank partner route reduces the annual e-residence fee from $500 to $150.
6. Once registered and issued an IIN, proceed to open bank accounts and order virtual/physical cards remotely from supported banks (such as Freedom Bank or Bank RBK, listed on the E-Residence platform).
