PremiumKazakhstan introduces automated passport control at border with Kyrgyzstan

Kazakhstan has launched the “Qgate” automated passport control system at the Kordai border with Kyrgyzstan in pilot mode, enabling faster, self-service document checks. The system processes 6,000–8,000 people daily, reducing wait times to 1.5 minutes per person. Modernization efforts have boosted the checkpoint’s capacity to 20,000–30,000 individuals and 3,000 - 4,000 vehicles per day.
