Kazakhstan government has revised the decree that made many popular resorts a special border zone requiring special passes. Foreigners will no longer have to obtain permits to visit them.
Kazakh Government has decreed to create wide belts near the county's border and make them off-limits for foreigners unless they acquire a special pass. Several very popular tourist destinations of Kazakhstan are within the limits of the new belts.
Chairman of Kazakhstan Council of Foreign Investors Ulf Wokurka offers recommendations to the Kazakhstan Government on visa regime, taxes, decriminalisation of tax and economic offences, education and attraction of investments.
Kazakhstan is taking an active stance in the world affairs. Nevertheless, its potential is limited by its resources and international status. Therefore, it has to choose a role consistent with both these factors.
