This research is relevant due to the lack of an effectively functioning institute of foreign individuals’ representation on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The work aims to analyze legislative regulations on the legal status of foreign persons in civil proceedings, providing an opportunity to study their rights and obligations within Kazakhstan. The study employs a doctrinal/legal analysis methodology to scrutinize legal texts and principles, a comparative legal research approach to compare Kazakhstans legal framework with international standards, and empirical analysis to assess practical implementations and outcomes. The work analysed the status of non-resident individuals, namely foreigners, stateless persons, and foreign and international organisations in accordance with the valid Civil Procedure Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Chisinau Convention was reviewed as a detailed study of the foreign organisation’s legal status, and, for international organisations, the United Nations Charter was reviewed. The jurisdiction of civil cases involving foreign individuals was analysed, and it was noted that they are considered by courts of general jurisdiction. The basic rules, characteristics, and principles for civil case trials involving foreign citizens were examined. It was found that there are problematic aspects in the current legislation regarding the functioning of an institute of foreign persons’ representation. According to the above, the main directions for improving the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan for resolving this conflict have been provided in the work. The practical value of the obtained results is to increase the efficiency of the national legal system and to provide greater guarantees for foreign citizens.
