Hello guys, I'm new here. Btw, I'm planning to apply as a teacher in Kazakhstan. I'm from the Philippines. My question is... Does Kazakhstan require mandatory hepa B test as part of the medical exam for teachers who want to teach in the said country? Hoping for your response.

There is no such law or requirement
Only until you arrive and are required to register at immigration (depending on the municipality you're going to will or will not require a full medical examination including HIV test)

Nonetheless, it depends on municipality (region) For instance, in Astana, you're required to do this after you have stayed for one year and you're prolonging your visa.

The key to surviving in this country is "access to information" Most Kazakh people (if you meet the bad ones) will try by all means to blind you.

Thanks for replying @blackanaconda. To be honest, I'm so worried because I'm hep B carrier. I hope there won't be any Hep B test as part of the medical exam for teachers.
