Common questions for Kazakhstan
Is Astana supported?
Yes. Astana is the Kazakhstan AIS post shown in our monitoring data and can be monitored through the extension.
Why is Almaty not listed?
Almaty is not present in the monitoring events behind this page, so we do not publish an Almaty wait-time row.
Must I already have an appointment?
Yes. Book an available appointment through AIS first, then monitor Astana for earlier eligible openings.
Can Power act without my browser running?
No. Power automation runs inside your active browser session using the rules you configure.
