Tax Free at Esentai Mall

International shopping with privileges

 

Esentai Mall offers a seamless Tax Free service for international visitors, allowing eligible customers to receive a VAT refund on purchases made — directly on the day of shopping, with minimal formalities.

 

As the first shopping mall in Kazakhstan to introduce the Tax Free system, Esentai Mall continues to elevate the luxury shopping experience for travelers from beyond the Eurasian Economic Union.

How it works:

Foreign citizens who are not residents of EAEU member states (Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia) are eligible for a VAT refund under the following conditions:

 

Minimum purchase amount: 78,640 KZT (approx. 128 USD)

Refund form issued: on the same day of purchase, in participating stores (look for the Global Blue sticker)

Export deadline: goods must be taken out of Kazakhstan within 90 days

Eligible goods: new, unused items carried in personal luggage (hand baggage)

 

The refund is processed after customs validation at the point of departure from Kazakhstan.
