ASTANA, Kazakhstan, January 26. President of
Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has instructed the government to
ensure the full digitalization of the migration regulation system,
calling it a priority task amid growing global migration flows,
Trend reports via the press service of the Kazakh
government.
Speaking at a meeting held at the Prosecutor General’s Office on
January 26, Tokayev emphasized that despite long-standing
discussions, progress in this area remains insufficient.
According to the president, the current global situation is
marked by increasing migration flows, which makes Kazakhstan a
convenient transit hub and an attractive destination for long-term
stay by foreign migrants.
“In these conditions, the modernization of systems for temporary
registration and monitoring the movement of foreign citizens
becomes a priority to ensure effective migration control,” Tokayev
said.
He instructed the government, jointly with the National Security
Committee, to accelerate work on the digital transformation of
migration regulation mechanisms.
Earlier, President Tokayev said that Kazakhstan intends to
transition to full digitalization over the next few years to reduce
excessive bureaucracy for citizens and entrepreneurs. The statement
was made at the plenary session of the Digital Bridge 2025
international forum in Astana.
The president noted that the newly established Ministry of
Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development will be the key
player in driving digitalization and weaving AI into the fabric of
everyday life. According to the president, digitalization and AI
development will serve as strategic tools for modernizing the
economy and society while reinforcing Kazakhstan’s position as a
technological leader in Central Asia.
