Read moreTravelling to Kazakhstan is inadvisable for Uzbek migrants with offenses in Russia
Recent enforcement measures resulting from bilateral agreements between Kazakhstan and Russia made the Agency for External Labour Migration under the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations of Uzbekistan issue a cautionary notice to Uzbek nationals who have committed offenses in Russia asking them to refrain from traveling to Kazakhstan.
The newly implemented system within Kazakhstan’s border and internal affairs authorities, based on agreements between Kazakhstan and Russia and focused on the recognition and enforcement of decisions in administrative and criminal cases, is the reason of this advisory.
The agreements make it possible to detain Uzbek citizens with recent offenses in Russia at the Kazakhstan border and to hold them in penal institutions until Russian authorities make final decisions regarding their violations.
The importance of understanding the risks associated with attempting to enter Kazakhstan after committing offenses in Russia and the possibility to face detention and legal consequences under Kazakhstani law are emphasized by the Agency for External Labour Migration.
The agency’s advice has been reinforced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan that urges Uzbeks to ensure they carry all necessary documents when entering or leaving Kazakhstan. The importance of checking for any obstacles to entering Kazakhstan or Russia, particularly in light of the mutual recognition and enforcement of legal decisions between the two countries, is highlighted by the ministry. Entry prohibitions or further legal complications in Kazakhstan can be caused by unpaid fines or other legal violations in Russia.
The need for Uzbek nationals to verify their legal status and ensure compliance with both Russian and Kazakhstan laws before attempting cross-border travel is also stressed by the ministry’s statement.
