«Previously, if upon entry it was found out that an immigrant had exceeded the permitted period of stay, a decision was made to deny entry. Now, if, upon entering Kazakhstan, it is found out that a citizen of Kyrgyzstan had been in the Republic of Kazakhstan for more than 90 days during each 180-day period, he or she still will be allowed to enter Kazakhstan,» the ministry said.
The resolution will come into force on October 9.
At least 2,338 people live in social residential institutions in Kyrgyzstan. The Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Migration provided such data.
The head of the ministry, Gulnara Baatyrova, checked readiness of the institutions for winter.
«Our care recipients are single elderly citizens and single married couples, adults and children with psychoneurological diagnoses. Our task is to provide them with comfortable living conditions.

The social residential institutions provide medical services, libraries are working there,» she said and added that all inspected social institutions are ready for the winter season, provided with fuel, winter clothing, and food.
