Full programme denial: residents and citizens of FATF-blacklisted jurisdictions — DPRK, Iran, Myanmar. Full restrictions also apply to persons linked to Syria and Cuba.

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD): applicants from the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and other jurisdictions with elevated sanctions risk. EDD requires additional documentation and an extended application review timeline.

Russian Federation citizens not subject to UN, EU, OFAC, UK HMT, Swiss SECO or AFM Kazakhstan sanctions may apply, subject to Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD).

EDD includes: in-depth source-of-funds review, PEP and related-party (RCA) screening, verification against the 14th and subsequent EU sanctions packages (Council Regulation 833/2014 as amended), and re-screening after status is granted.

The eResidency programme may not be used to circumvent sanctions imposed by the United Nations, the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom or any other applicable sanctions regime.

By obtaining status, an e-resident undertakes: not to use eResidency status, IIN, Digital Identity Card, eSIM or partner financial services to facilitate transactions involving sanctioned persons, sanctioned goods or sanctioned end-uses; not to provide services to Russian Federation entities falling within Article 5n of EU Council Regulation 833/2014 (as amended by the 14th and subsequent sanctions packages).

A breach of these undertakings is grounds for immediate revocation of eResidency status without refund of fees paid, and for notification of the relevant regulatory and law enforcement authorities.

If an active e-resident is added to a sanctions list, the programme takes the following actions:

1. Within 24 hours: suspends e-residency status.
2. Notifies relevant regulatory and law enforcement authorities as required by applicable law.
3. Notifies the e-resident (where permitted by the applicable sanctions regime).
4. Provides an opportunity to appeal within 30 calendar days (where applicable).
5. Upon confirmation of sanctions status, initiates IIN revocation through the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan.

Sanctions screening is performed in real time using a specialised KYC/AML provider. Active e-residents are additionally re-screened daily against updated sanctions lists.
