In order to simplify the process of obtaining a Neo Nomad Visa for foreign tourists, it is recommended to introduce the possibility of issuing it in electronic format through the visa migration portal. Currently, it can be formalized only through institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan in foreign countries. This allows foreigners to stay in Kazakhstan for one year.

Also, another important direction is the development of shopping tourism. The Tax Free system is considered to be an effective means of stimulating the purchasing activity of tourists, and this system works in many developed countries. And in the country in 2019, it was introduced in the pilot mode in the cities of Astana, Almaty, Shymkent and Turkestan. Within this system, goods worth 4.9 billion tenge were sold to foreign tourists. The average sales amount was 837 thousand tenge. This indicator is among the top 10 countries in the world.

In this regard, the Ministry of Tourism recommends considering the possibility of changing the Tax Free system from a pilot system to a permanent mode of operation, as well as introducing this system in all regions of the country.
