Hello Mr. XXX. Thank you for answer. Today, the winnings payment department of our company received a request to provide additional transaction documents to your bank account. I came to the bank, I gave them all the documents that I had prepared for verification. The bank manager checked all the documents and said that they were issued correctly. Then I asked him to explain to me in more detail about the transaction passport and how to get it. According to the Federal Law of Kazakhstan No. 213-NZ dated December 10, 2019 "Currency regulation and currency control", all currency transfers to the accounts of non-residents of Kazakhstan must be accompanied by a transaction passport. A transaction passport is a document used for currency control. The Bank, acting as an agent of currency control, oversees the provision of services for the transfer of funds abroad. The transaction passport contains information about the sender, recipient, their name, address, payment details and information about the origin of funds and the purpose of destination. The recipient of the money transfer independently draws up a transaction passport at his own expense and transmits two copies of the document to the bank, which acts as an agent of currency control. The representative of the bank signs and seals the document. For example, a financial institution assumes the role of a currency manager in accordance with this contract. The first copy is returned to the client, the second remains in the bank and is embedded in the transaction file. There are two options for preparing a transaction passport: 1. We transfer all the documents we have to the bank, they prepare the transaction passport themselves, and we just have to pay for it.
The cost of issuing a transaction passport by the bank is 2230.00 US dollars. In this case, we have a 100 guarantee that the documents will be ready within 2 days after payment and the Financial Monitoring Department of Kazakhstan will accept this document and approve the money transfer. 2. We can issue a transaction passport ourselves, but I personally will have to go through a lot of government agencies, and all this will take about two weeks. I don't really understand what to do, and I'm facing this for the first time. I'll have to hire a lawyer from our company to sort it out. In this case, we save only about $ 300, but there is a risk that the bank and the Financial Control Department of Kazakhstan will not accept our document and that we will only waste money and time. Personally, I think it would be better to use option 1 so that the bank itself draws up all the necessary documents. In this case, we have a 100 guarantee that there will be no problems with the Financial Monitoring Department of Kazakhstan and you will receive all your money quickly. You will also receive an official document for your bank and your government if they suddenly have questions about this money. Of course, only you can decide what to do in this situation. I'm waiting for your answer. I will be glad to help you with all your questions. Thank you for choosing us.
Yours faithfully, Victor Chuba.
