What this actually costs

Re-checked (5 Sep 2026), this time tracing the actual attachment SDU's Tuition Fees page promises rather than stopping at the promise itself. That page ('Tuition fees') explains the ECTS-based, per-programme pricing model and links a document literally titled 'Tuition fees 2026-2027 Bachelor' -- but the link target is a drive.google.com file, not a page on sdu.edu.kz or any of its subdomains, so it cannot be used as a citation source under StudyPath’s official-domain rule even though it appears (opened only to check, not to cite) to be a real, signed fee order giving a per-ECTS USD rate for every named Bachelor's programme, including several under the School of Information Technologies and Applied Mathematics that Software Engineering belongs to. Separately, the 'Online Tuition Fee for International Student' page is not a fee calculator despite its name and despite the page's own warning to 'use a special calculator on the page!!!': it is a bank-wire payment/registration form -- university name, SWIFT/IBAN details, and a 'Faculties' dropdown (Business School, Faculty of Engineering & Natural Sciences, Faculty of Education & Humanities, Faculty of Law & Social Sciences, Language school) -- for a student who already knows the amount to pay; selecting a faculty in that dropdown (checked directly) surfaces no figure of any kind. No on-domain SDU page states a per-programme or per-ECTS rate for Software Engineering.

What Kazakhstan's own immigration authority currently publishes. Not a ranking, not a guarantee, and not the same as what any agent or forum will tell you. Whether someone actually obtains residence depends on occupation, points, funds and policy that can change between application and graduation.

Work during study

Kazakhstan's Law No. 477-IV 'On Migration of Population' (22 July 2011), in its official English translation published by the Ministry of Justice's ' ƌdіlet' legal information system, sets out a dedicated Chapter 5 ('Immigration for the Purpose of Receiving Education') covering students admitted to general secondary, technical/professional, post-secondary, higher and post-graduate educational programmes. Article 33's list of what education-purpose immigrants 'shall' do contains only the obligations quoted below — general immigrant obligations, and an obligation to leave Kazakhstan on completing the full course of study or professional training absent other legal grounds to stay — with no clause granting a right to work. This is a contrast the Law itself draws elsewhere: Article 29, covering a different immigrant category (family-reunification immigrants), explicitly states conditions under which those immigrants 'shall have the right to carrying out of labour activity.' No equivalent labour-activity right is stated anywhere in Chapter 5 for education-purpose immigrants; work in Kazakhstan is instead organised as its own separate immigration purpose entirely, under Chapter 6 ('Immigration for the Purpose of Carrying out of Labour Activity'), covering labour immigrants who arrive specifically for self-employment in professions in demand or for work under an employer's foreign-labour quota.

“2. Immigrants arrived for the purpose of receiving education shall: 1) incur obligations provided by the Laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan in respect of immigrants stayed in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan; 2) obliged to leave the Republic of Kazakhstan upon completion of the full course of studies and (or) professional training, if there are no legal grounds for the further stay.”

Route to citizenship

Kazakhstan's Law 'On Citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan' (20 December 1991, as amended), published by the Ministry of Justice's official legal-information system, sets out in Article 16 who may be admitted to Kazakhstani citizenship: persons lawfully and permanently residing in Kazakhstan for not less than 5 years, or persons married to a citizen of Kazakhstan for not less than 3 years. That 5-year/3-year residence requirement is waived for minors, legally incapacitated persons, and people who either have special services to Kazakhstan or hold a profession meeting requirements on a list set by the President, along with their family members. A separate, unconditional route exists for citizens of former union republics who arrived to permanently reside in Kazakhstan and have a close relative (child, spouse, parent, sibling, or grandparent) who is a Kazakhstani citizen, regardless of how long they have resided in Kazakhstan. On dual nationality, the Law's Article 3 states the country's position without qualification: 'citizenship of another state is not recognised for a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan' — Kazakhstan does not recognise or permit dual citizenship.

Условия приема в гражданство Республики Казахстан В гражданство Республики Казахстан могут быть приняты: 1) лица, постоянно проживающие на территории Республики Казахстан на законных основаниях не менее пяти лет либо состоящие в браке с гражданами Республики Казахстан не менее трех лет.”

New entry added 19 August 2026. One Kazakhstani government domain accepted as a government source here: adilet.zan.kz (the ƌdіlet Informational and Legal System, run by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan — the country's official legislative-text repository, which conveniently also hosts an official unofficial English translation of the Migration Law used directly above). postStudyWork and residencyRoute are left null: StudyPath found no distinct post-study job-search visa in the Migration Law, and while Article 16 of the Citizenship Law states the 5-year permanent-residence threshold for naturalisation, StudyPath did not locate the specific chapter/article of the Migration Law (or a separate implementing regulation) describing how a foreign graduate would convert from the temporary residence permit issued for study (Article 32) into the qualifying 'permanent residence' status itself — this is recorded as an absence of found information, not a confirmed 'no', and a future collector could pursue Chapter 4 of the Migration Law (immigration for permanent residence) directly. egov.kz, Kazakhstan's citizen-services portal, was also checked (its 'How to get a residence permit' article and Migration Committee page) but returned a JavaScript-rendered redirect this project's fetcher and browser fallback could not capture as static text. inDemandOccupations is left null: Article 34 of the Migration Law references labour immigrants arriving for 'self-employment in professions in demand in priority sectors of the economy,' but StudyPath did not trace that reference to a specific, currently published shortage-occupation list. naturalisationStatus set to 'published-route': the Citizenship Law publishes real, numbered residence-length and marriage-length criteria, and states Kazakhstan's no-dual-citizenship position in plain, unqualified terms — per the doc comment on ResidencyPathway.naturalisationStatus this field records only whether criteria are published, not how demanding the underlying permanent-residence prerequisite is to reach. citizenshipTerms records the Article 16 general condition of 5 years’ lawful permanent residence. dualCitizenshipAllowed is false on Article 3, which states without qualification that citizenship of another state is not recognised for a citizen of Kazakhstan.
