On April 12, the e-Gov portal (eGov.kz) celebrates its 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, eGov.kz has evolved from an informational platform into a fully-fledged digital ecosystem, becoming an integral part of everyday life for every citizen of Kazakhstan and a symbol of the country’s technological transformation.

Starting from April 13, 2026, the public service for issuing and extending work permits for labour migrants in Kazakhstan will no longer be available at Citizen Service Centers, and applications can now be submitted exclusively online.

The service for issuing and extending work permits for labour migrants has been fully transitioned to an online format and is available only via the eGov.kz portal. This update eliminates the need to visit Citizen Service Centers and significantly simplifies the application process.

Khabar Agency JSC, in collaboration with the team of NITEC JSC, has released the documentary “Digital Revolutionaries: 20 Years of eGov”, dedicated to the development and evolution of Kazakhstan’s e-Government, one of the key digital projects of independent Kazakhstan.

The film tells the story that transformed the everyday lives of millions of Kazakhstani citizens. Today, public services are accessible in just a few clicks, whereas 20 years ago obtaining even a simple certificate meant long queues, paperwork, and visits to multiple government offices.
