Основная цель – проанализировать внедрение цифровых инструментов в работу консульства, изучить международный опыт, выявить, что из этого опыта применимо для Республики Казахстан. В ходе сравнительного анализа и обзора нормативных документов в тематическом исследовании был рассмотрен опыт Эстонии, Южной Кореи, Сингапура, Объединенных Арабских Эмиратов, Германии и Соединенных Штатов Америки в рамках цифровизации консульских и визовых технических процедур. Стоит отметить, что трансформация реализует три элемента: электронные визы, биометрическая верификация, многоуровневая электронная автоматизированная обработка заявок. В данной статье обосновывается реализация консульской цифровизации Казахстана в контексте международных установок, выявляются пробелы. Исследование определяет пошаговые практические рекомендации, которые позволяют учесть институциональные возможности страны, а также правовую базу и геополитическое обоснование в свете необходимости национальных стратегий цифровизации консульской деятельности.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This article examines the use of e-government and the impact on consular services. The main goal is to analyze the implementation of digital tools in the work of the consulate to study international experience, and it was revealed that some of this experience is applicable to the Republic of Kazakhstan. Justifying the comparative analysis and review of regulatory documents, the case study examined the experience of Estonia, South Korea, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Germany and the United States in the framework of digitalization of consular and visa technical procedures. It is worth noting that the transformation implements three elements: electronic visas, biometric verification, and multi-level electronic automated application processing. This article substantiates the implementation of consular digitalization in Kazakhstan, in the context of international guidelines, and identifies gaps. The study is guided by step-by-step recommendations in practice that allow us to take into account the country's institutional capabilities, as well as the legal framework and geopolitical rationale, as well as the need for national strategies for digitizing consular activities.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>цифровизация</kwd><kwd>консульские услуги</kwd><kwd>электронное правительство</kwd><kwd>электронные визы</kwd><kwd>биометрическая идентификация</kwd><kwd>Республика Казахстан</kwd><kwd>международный опыт</kwd><kwd>государственные услуги онлайн</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>digitalization</kwd><kwd>consular services</kwd><kwd>e-government</kwd><kwd>electronic visas</kwd><kwd>biometric identification</kwd><kwd>the Republic of Kazakhstan</kwd><kwd>international experience</kwd><kwd>online government services</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The article was prepared as part of the grant project “Comprehensive Study of the Humanitarian Aspects of Information Security in Kazakhstan and the Components of “Soft Power’ in Ensuring Sustainable Development and Consolidation of Kazakh Society”, funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (BR24993082).</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Синчук, Ю.В.
