Astana is like nowhere else on Earth. Imagine a city that's a mix of modern vibes and traditional charm, with mind-blowing structures like the Bayterek Tower, Khan Shatyr, and the Astana Expo 2017 site dominating the skyline. It's a place where innovation and ambition rule the roost.
For all you tech-savvy entrepreneurs out there, Astana is your dream destination. The government's got your back, there's top-notch infrastructure, and plenty of venture capital floating around. It's like a mini Silicon Valley right in the heart of Central Asia.
If you're a digital nomad or an expat, Astana's got your back too. Living costs are a steal, safety is top-notch, and the city's got a happening cultural scene that'll keep you entertained. And don't get me started on the local grub - you're in for a treat!

Thanks!

[@nathanlucas1523]

Cool chat ... It takes courage to discuss "cons" in a public forum (even though every city has them) ... Appreciate the sincere summary. Well done.

[@ChristianBale-ks8nm]

Good luck!

Nice video. Always nice to watch your videos, they're always refreshing and your content always seems genuine rather than you're peddling a certain narrative/ your consulting. Agreed, Kazakhstan is a very underrated country. I definitely felt that the country was developing and 'on the right track' and I loved how safe I felt there. I'm not sure if you've covered this but what do you do, if it's not a secret. You move around quite a bit :)

[@NearShoreLiving]

Thanks! Not a secret. I used to run a smallish software related business but the last 2 years, I've been traveling with my wife with the goal of finding a more permanent place to live. I've also been traveling/living abroad since I was able to do it. Even as a child, my parents were just moving a lot for work so after watching a lot of KZbin, I wanted to document the stuff that I know about visas/passports/moving etc and KZbin seemed like a great platform for it. 😂 I don't judge people who peddle narratives, I'm def guilty of it in Business... But I'd like to keep this channel a bit more authentic and less shilling.

[@RFXZ67966]

@@NearShoreLiving Thanks. I appreciate the response. It's nice to know the background story to all of this :)

Ты гуляешь в центральной части старого города правого берега Астаны, тебе надо было поехать на правом берегу на проспект Абылай-хан, микрорайон Орбита или проспект Победы 😎

Kazakhstani is any citizen of Kazakhstan(Kazakh, Russian, Ukrainian etc.) main etnicity called kazakh(or Kazak with 2 hard "K") so its kazakh language not kazakhstani language

[@CryptoNerd91]

Hows the weather like there during the winter months. Saw the temperatures and the winter was freezing. Is it only a summer weather country?

[@NearShoreLiving]

Freezing - would not recommend hahaha

[@europaasiaworld]

Погода в Астане, зима очень холодная и суровая, сильными сибирскими морозами ещё и шквальным ветром, ну имеется ввиду постоянно сильные бураны. А летом наоборот засушливо сильная жара с ветром либо дожди тоже с ветром. Город находится на степной равнине, на берегах реки Есиль. Астана входит в состав северного региона Казахстана. А ещё есть Восточный регион Казахстана, Западный регион Казахстана, Центральный регион Казахстана и Южный регион Казахстана. 😎

Hi, excuse my hearing. Cons, 1. Weather is intense and 2. what the second, driver or what?

[@harryharry9602]

Can you fake physical presence requirement? Let's say you have passport A and B, and you want to get citizenship C. You apply for residency at C country using your passport B. Country C requires 5 years of physical presence to get citizenship, but you want to get the citizenship without physical presence. So, you enter country C using your passport A and then exit. Then you enter country C using your passport B. Using chemicals, you remove the exit stamp from your passport A. Now you try to exit the country using passport A. In the airport, either they don't notice it and let you through, or they do notice it and assume there has been an error on their side. Worst case scenario, they fine you some amount and let you go. But now your passport B has an entry stamp without exit stamp which you can use to prove your physical presence! Do you think that would work?

[@NearShoreLiving]

😂 excellent question. Not sure if I have an answer for that tho. I def would advise against Messing with your passport.

Cool Video however as a content creator myself, I suggest you to create a separate Channel for Vlogging: minimise risks in case one account gets suspended/banned or shadowbanned, and also separate topics.

[@NearShoreLiving]

Interesting. Do people actually get banned so often? I hear lots of people talking about it but don't have much first hand experience.

[@TC-rp4kp]

Not that often, it's just an extra step for resilience purposes, and to separate the topic of residencies with Travel vlogging @@NearShoreLiving

[@liuliu8862]

How can I connect you ? Your website looks closed, twitter account doesn't exist, does the email address still work ?

[@wagmi614]

almaty when?

[@NearShoreLiving]

I think I'll be back to Kasakhstan/ Almaty in February. Maybe Almaty winter video.

[@moonranga4226]

It's a secular state according to it's Constitution.

What’s the Caspian Sea coast like

[@NearShoreLiving]

Never made it all the way there but I did see some coastal cities/resorts there

[@staffattorney]

The only city on the coast is Aktau. No vegetation at all. All water comes from desalination water plant. Super hot temperatures in the summer. Water is cool even cold. But it is nice to spend time by the water. There are a lot of non-poisonous snakes at beaches. Best time to visit July to September. September is the nicest weather.

[@AyanokoG]

are you an ENTP personality?

[@GeronimoLogistics]

Romania, Bucharest I hear is a blast

[@NearShoreLiving]

Yeah. I was there years ago and it was a really fun City.

[@-whackd]

The Koreans weren't expelled from the USSR, Kazakhstan was part of the USSR. Hence all the Russians, Ukrainians, Germans and Sakhalin Koreans within the country.

[@NearShoreLiving]

True! Good catch.
