Kazakhstan Labour Market Insights
Why Kazakhstan Employers Hire Skilled Workers from India, Nepal & the PhilippinesWhy Kazakhstan Employers Hire Skilled Workers from India, Nepal & the Philippines
Kazakhstan is Central Asia's largest economy, and projects in oil & gas, infrastructure and manufacturing are creating more skilled jobs than the local market can fill. Employers hire qualified welders, electricians, engineers, operators and technicians from India, Nepal and the Philippines through the official foreign labour quota and work permit system. We manage the India-side process so your HR team doesn't have to.
111,000+
Unfilled construction vacancies. The Prime Minister has reported roughly 111,000 open construction positions, a gap expected to double to over 200,000 by 2030. Welders, masons, concrete workers and finishing trades are the hardest to fill.
18,000+
2026 foreign worker quota. The 2026 quota is set at 0.25% of the workforce, up from 0.2% (14,800 permits) in 2025. It covers executives, division heads, specialists and skilled workers, plus up to 4,994 seasonal places. Permits are limited and employer-sponsored, so early planning matters.
Sources: World Bank (GDP, 2024); Times of Central Asia (construction vacancies); Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Kazakhstan (2026 quota). Quota total = category permits + seasonal allocation.

Why Indian, Nepali & Filipino Workers Perform in KazakhstanWhy Indian, Nepali & Filipino Workers Perform in Kazakhstan
We screen for three outcomes employers need: workers who arrive prepared, settle in quickly and stay for the full contract.
Industrial & International Experience
- Many candidates have prior GCC, offshore or industrial project experience, so shift discipline and safety culture are familiar before arrival.
- Many have worked under ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 standards, so your QC and HSE teams start from a shared baseline.
- Candidates are asked about rotating shifts and remote site conditions during screening, which are common on Kazakhstan oil & gas and infrastructure projects.
Verified Skills & Industry Certifications
- Welders, electricians, CNC operators and industrial technicians hold NSDC (India) skill certificates, and trade credentials are checked before shortlisting.
- Many candidates have worked under ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and oil & gas safety standards on previous projects, so your QC and HSE teams start from a shared baseline.
- Practical trade tests and interviews confirm that each worker can do the job before you see the profile.
Retention & Reliability
- 85%+ contract completion rate across our international placements.
- Candidates are briefed on industrial accommodation and Kazakhstan's climate before departure.
- Check-ins at Day 7, 30 and 90 help keep output predictable and gaps few.
Communication & Cultural Fit
