Cash and monetary instruments in foreign currency shall not exceed the equivalent of 10,000 (ten thousand) US dollars at the rate of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Also, you cannot carry (in your luggage) gold bars of refined gold 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 grams and investment coins made of gold "ALTYN BARYS" and silver "KÚMIS BARYS", issued by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as refined gold over 100 grams. The State Revenue Committee noted that in case of violation of the ban, persons will be held administratively or criminally liable in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In case of bringing to administrative responsibility individuals are imposed a fine in the amount of fifteen MCI (45.9 thousand tenge).
