Post-study work is often the ROI question for Kazakhstan. Details below; full destination context is in the country guide.
Can I Work While Studying in Kazakhstan?
Under Kazakhstani law, international students on a C9 visa are not permitted to apply for a work permit or engage in internships, part-time work, or full-time jobs outside campus during their studies, including summer and winter breaks. This restriction does not apply to citizens of Eurasian Economic Union member states (Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia). Some universities, including Nazarbayev University, offer structured on-campus work programs through their career centres as an alternative.
