We've had 3 sets of visitors from the UK, who all were able to pass their paperwork to a friend of ours, who very kindly got everything stamped/processed on their behalf... A VERY pleasant change from how it used to be for us. Re. the queues, the civic 'one stop shop' here in Astana has the right approach, you take a number, like in Western food counters etc, and although all those ahead of you in the queue may not be immediately in sight, you at least have an idea of how many more people need to be seen before it is your turn. I included a v.small section on queues here - http://www.chrismerriman.com/index.php/archives/3 I’m not sure where you are based, or when you last needed to register, but as of August ‘06 , here in Astana, foreigners haven’t been requested to attend.

I got my visa through an agency in Berlin - so no one was responsible for my registration in KZ. I could have done it via any travel agency, but somehow, I wanted to experience it myself. I came to regret it. Good question YN. I got my visa through an agency in Berlin - so no one was responsible for my registration in KZ.

We should definitely find out more about these guys ;) I'm sure you can have them wait in front of closed doors as long as you like, although I wonder how much they charge.
