Given that many executives may have additional business interests in other countries and their families may reside outside Kazakhstan, the question arises: Can a foreign executive work remotely?
Of course, today all the necessary conditions are in place for this: you can make payments, sign contracts, conduct negotiations, submit reports, and much more—all remotely.
It turns out that you don't need to be physically present in Kazakhstan if you file the paperwork correctly.
However, there are cases where the director’s presence is required by the tax authorities, such as when filing a VAT refund claim or submitting VAT liquidation reports.
In addition, a limited liability partnership (TOO) may be dissolved if an officer without whom the TOO cannot function is absent for a period of one year.
To avoid these consequences, in addition to properly completing the necessary paperwork, you must travel to Kazakhstan periodically to maintain a record of your stay and to obtain a work permit from the immigration authorities.
