"On a pilot basis we have launched a special visa program, under which only two or three days are needed for the issuance of business visas for citizens of Kazakhstan," Charles Hendry stated.

Today, 16 Kazakh companies have applied for a visa under this program, and 10 of them have already obtained visas.

He stressed that the program was announced during the visit of the British Prime Minister to Kazakhstan.

"We intend to continue this program, the term is not limited. As far as I know, about 150 visas have been issued under this program. Another good news is that from October this year Air Astana will begin to perform direct flights between Astana and London. We see that the progress is being made in many spheres," the representative of the British Prime Minister added.
