Registration, visas, cars and housing — we advise on procedures we have actually handled.

FAQ
How long does company registration take?
With documents ready, registration itself usually takes a few working days. Apostille, translation and notarisation of the parent company's documents take longer, so plan for 2–4 weeks overall. Bank accounts depend on the bank's review.
Do I need to come to Kazakhstan?
Registration can be done under a power of attorney. Some banks require the director in person to open an account; we arrange everything so it can be done in one visit.
How do Korean staff get visas?
The visa and work permit depend on the purpose: business trip, work tasks, long-term employment. Tell us the number of staff and the period and we'll list the documents and help with the application.
What comes after registration?
Tax reporting and bookkeeping start immediately. We connect you with a local accountant and explain deadlines and documents in your language.
Do you support educational and cultural projects?
Yes. We have found schools, run Korean culture classes, recruited students, met guests at the airport, arranged housing and interpreted throughout the programme.
How is the cost set?
It depends on scope. After the consultation we give a staged estimate with official fees and our fee shown separately.
