Let us remind you that the right to pension benefits from UAPF in connection with leaving for permanent residence outside of Kazakhstan can be used by foreigners and stateless persons who left for permanent residence outside of the country, who have pension savings in UAPF at the expense of compulsory, compulsory occupational pension contributions (CPC, COPC) and voluntary pension contributions (VPC), unless otherwise provided by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international treaties ratified by the Republic of Kazakhstan.

To apply for benefits, you must submit documents to UAPF. There are 3 ways to submit:

1. You can personally contact the UAPF office;
2. A representative (attorney) of a foreigner or stateless person can personally contact the UAPF office with a package of documents.
3. You can send the necessary documents to the postal address of one of the regional (oblast) branches of UAPF.

We inform you that the UAPF website contains a list of required documents depending on the method of their submission to UAPF, requirements for their execution, as well as application forms and samples of their completion, a sample power of attorney. You can pre-check the documents sent for pension benefits from UAPF by using the UAPF electronic service "Pre-check of documents for pension benefit".

Upon receipt of documents, UAPF requests information from the information systems of state bodies of Kazakhstan on the availability of documents of the foreigner or stateless person who applied, certifying the identity of a citizen of Kazakhstan, or a residence permit of a foreigner in Kazakhstan, or a certificate of a stateless person issued by an authorized body of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and their validity. If the specified documents are not valid due to the departure of the applying foreigner or stateless person outside the Republic of Kazakhstan for permanent residence or the cancellation of the foreigner's or stateless person's permit for permanent residence in the Republic of Kazakhstan, or due to the loss of citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan, withdrawal from citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan, UAPF makes a pension benefit payment within 10 working days from the date of acceptance or receipt by UAPF of the documents.     

Please note that pension savings are paid only to the current bank account of the beneficiary, even if the recipient of pension benefits is an incapacitated/partially incapacitated adult. Payment of pension savings to the bank account of a legal representative (guardian/trustee), as well as an attorney-in-fact, is not allowed. Thus, a person applying for permanent residence in another country cannot transfer their pension savings to their close relatives or other persons.

Pension benefits are transferred by UAPF to the beneficiary's bank account, the details of which are specified in the application: in national currency - when transferring to bank accounts opened in second-tier banks or an organization carrying out certain types of banking operations in Kazakhstan; in US dollars, euros, pounds sterling or Russian rubles - when transferring to bank accounts opened in foreign banks outside the Republic of Kazakhstan.
