Planning a shoot in Central Asia? Remedy Production provides full-cycle production support, location scouting, and fixer services in Kazakhstan. From the futuristic architecture of Almaty to the Mars-like landscapes of Charyn Canyon and the snow-capped Tien Shan mountains.
We are filmmakers ourselves. Unlike standard travel agencies, we understand production requirements: lighting conditions, noise levels, logistics for large crews, and power supply. We speak the language of cinema.
Kazakhstan is an incredibly film-friendly country, offering stunning visuals from modern cityscapes to untouched nature. However, a successful shoot requires careful planning around permits, customs, and local laws. As your dedicated local fixers, Remedy Production takes the bureaucratic burden off your shoulders.
While there is no blanket prohibition on international filming, access depends entirely on the location. Shooting on a city street, private property, or a protected national park requires entirely different approval pathways. For instance, filming in ecological reserves like Altyn-Emel or Charyn Canyon involves strict environmental regulations and park administration approvals. We secure all necessary location releases and government permits well in advance.
Kazakhstan offers visa-free regimes and e-visas for many countries, but entry rules depend on each crew member's nationality and length of stay. More importantly, local laws require the hosting party to notify the migration police within three working days of a foreigner's arrival. We manage your crew list, assist with invitation letters if needed, and handle all mandatory migration notifications to keep your production fully compliant.
Bringing professional cinema gear across the border doesn't have to be a headache. Kazakhstan accepts the ATA Carnet system for temporary duty-free import of media and cinematographic equipment. We advise you on preparing flawless gear lists with exact serial numbers and coordinate with local customs brokers to ensure your equipment clears the border smoothly.
Aerial filming in Kazakhstan is strictly regulated. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) require state registration, technical compliance, and specific flight permits—especially near airports, government infrastructure, or in controlled airspace. Skip the hassle: Instead of importing your own drone and risking customs delays, hire our local certified drone unit. We provide fully registered equipment (like DJI Mavic 4 Pro) and legal pilots, allowing you to shoot safely and legally.
When filming in public spaces, it is essential to be mindful of local privacy laws regarding the depiction of identifiable individuals, especially for commercial use. We help you navigate these nuances and organize crowd release forms when necessary, ensuring your footage is cleared for global distribution.
Kazakhstan is becoming a top destination for music videos, commercials, and feature films. Here is why:
We know the hidden gems that aren't on Google Maps. We know the weather patterns and the best time of day to shoot.
We have produced feature films ('Boyzhetken', 'The Boyz', 'Shashu') and TV commercials. We anticipate the director's needs before they ask.
We understand tight deadlines. Our producers are available 24/7 to solve any issue during the pre-production and shooting days.
Yes, absolutely. International crews are welcome, but you must follow local regulations regarding location permits, visas, and equipment customs. We handle all of this as your local fixer.
Yes, Kazakhstan is part of the ATA Carnet system. You can temporarily import professional cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment duty-free as long as your paperwork is perfectly prepared.
We strongly recommend hiring a local drone operator. Importing drones requires complex declarations, and obtaining flight permits as a foreigner takes a lot of time. Our in-house drone unit is already registered and licensed to fly in Kazakhstan.
It depends on the passport. Many countries enjoy a visa-free regime with Kazakhstan for short stays, while others may require an e-visa. We will check your specific crew list during pre-production to ensure everyone arrives without issues.
