Arrival

Welcome on arrival	AlmaU International Office and University staff will welcome international students and help them to settle into their new life, through mentor/buddy program; providing them with information materials, like e.g. Student Handbook; and organizing touristic trips inside and outside of the city.
Orientation week – COMPULSORY for all Incoming Exchange Students	AlmaU Academic Mobility Office provides Introduction Day programs for all international students a few days before the start of each Semester. This compulsory session aims to integrate international students into their new environment, inform them about University regulations and administrative matters (visa, residence permit and registration, health insurance, banking, mobile and internet providers, accommodation, transportation, student cards, academic expectations and standards).
Notes for foreigners staying	According to the university’s internal rules, foreigners must report to our visa officer before and after each trip in Kazakhstan and abroad, as this is also the requirement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan. Violation leads to fines and deportation.
