Work rights and after graduation
No work right for students was found in the current official texts. Law 'On Migration' Art. 36-1 (read 2026-10-25) sets a foreign-labour quota/permit system and lists exempt groups (autonomous educational organisations' managers/specialists, state bodies, investment projects, SEZ participants, permanent residents, branch heads, Astana Hub, persons on a Government list, intra-corporate transferees); students are not listed in the article text read. The Government list of persons exempt from local-authority permits (Resolution No. 1041, 24 Nov 2023, referenced in a search result) was not opened. Do not publish a part-time work right for international students; show 'Henuz dogrulanmadi'.
