Why Shymkent? What did you feel when you first came to Kazakhstan, what really touched you?
One hot summer day, I was sitting on a lawn in the garden under the shade of vines that my mother-in-law had laid out. A hot, dry wind rustled the leaves and knocked the ripe cherries to the ground. My niece was playing in the sun. My wife came out, picked some cherries and shared them with me. My time in Shymkent consists of thousands of such moments that add up to fond memories and nostalgia — it appears faster than time passes. I haven't been to Astana and Almaty much, so I can't talk about them, but Shymkent is always warm.
For many, the most difficult part is legalization. What did you have to go through with visas and documents? Were there any moments of fear that everything might go wrong?
For months we've been trying to figure out all the stages of the process.: we collected documents, consulted with various specialists and clarified the requirements. There was a lot of information, and sometimes it differed in detail, so we needed time to build a clear understanding of the next steps. There were moments of excitement when we didn't fully understand how to move on properly and whether we would be able to arrange everything on time.
It was only when we contacted the Astana Hub that everything suddenly worked out. We quickly went through the bureaucracy and got a Digital Nomad visa. The process turned out to be much easier than expected: after 7 working days, the application was received, and after another 5 days, the visa itself was issued. This has significantly simplified the entire path of legalization. Special thanks to the Astana Hub team and its representatives — Asset, Magzhan and Kaisar — for their support and support at all stages.
