The AIFC regulates financial, market and ancillary activities. Thus, AIFC participants can obtain licenses for a number of activities, including brokerage and dealer activities, investment and fund management, banking, insurance activities, Islamic finance services and other types of financial services, including the operation of representative offices.
The AIFC has a special legal regime based on the principles of English common law and the standards of leading financial centres. The AIFC also has an Independent Court of the AIFC and the IAC (International Arbitration Centre), which provide a flexible approach to dispute resolution.
FinTech is a special regulatory sandbox in the AIFC jurisdiction. The main privilege of becoming a FinTech participant is the range of conditions for startups or organizations operating, then regulated by the AIFC with gradual integration into the AIFC environment and moderate compliance with regulatory requirements.
To obtain a license in the AIFC, participants go through three stages: Pre-Application, Application, and Incorporation. The list of required documents for submission for regulated activities varies depending on the area and type of business of the company. The list of key documents that must be drawn up in English and submitted to the AIFC Regulator:
➢ AML policy
➢ Business plan
➢ Compliance policies
➢ Risk management policy
➢ Shareholding scheme
➢ Financial forecasts
➢ Organizational chart indicating key appointments and subordination
➢ Employee code of conduct
➢ Employee resumes
➢ AML policy
➢ Business plan
➢ Compliance policies
➢ Risk management policy
➢ Shareholding scheme
➢ Financial forecasts
➢ Organizational chart indicating key appointments and subordination
➢ Employee code of conduct
➢ Employee resumes
In the AIFC jurisdiction, the applicable law is the Acts of the AIFC bodies and judicial practice based on English law? However, in situations where this law does not apply, the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan will apply.
A simplified visa regime applies to AIFC participants and their family members. AIFC participants can obtain a work visa for a period of 5 years. Documents for obtaining a visa are submitted by participants through the AIFC Expat Center.
A legal address is required for every company that plans to operate in the AIFC jurisdiction. The main mandatory criterion for a legal address is location. It must comply with the AIFC territory boundaries, which are indicated on the official AIFC website.
The legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan does not provide for redomiciliation to another jurisdiction, therefore the transfer of an LLP to the AIFC is possible only with its absorption by a participating company.
Boundaries of the territory of the "Astana" International Financial Center
Renting an address in the Astana International Financial Center gives companies access to tax benefits and simplifies the registration process. This increases investor confidence, provides modern infrastructure and creates opportunities for establishing business connections. Companies also gain access to training programs and events for business development.
