Astana: the vibe
Videos from people who went, played right here, with what viewers said underneath. Not part of the score.
The verdict
Mixed · 48Little firsthand lived experience here; mostly program-eligibility questions, and one commenter suggests Astana may be excluded from the residency pilot, so the verdict stays near neutral.
- government support for IT nomads
- residency opportunity for tech workers
- Astana Hub tech ecosystem
- unclear pilot eligibility
- confusing overlapping pilot rules
- thin info on living conditions
- KYC access for foreign services unknown
- Astana may be excluded from the new residency pilot
- Digital nomad residency is a remote-application pilot for IT workers
- Few people report actually living in Astana
- Visa route B9-1 has very few successful cases so far
- Older 2019 coverage describes Almaty-era charm, not Astana life

“Здравствуйте, можно ли будет проходить KYC верификацию на иностранных сервисах через эту программу?”
“Здравствуйте. От Астаны можно будет податься на ВНЖ по этой программе? или это только для специальных регионов которые по новому пилотному закону от апреля 2026 г. в который Астана не входит. А то запутался везде пилотные проекты.”
