Official wording
5. Иммигранты въезжают в Республику Казахстан и выезжают из Республики Казахстан через пункты пропуска на Государственной границе Республики Казахстан, открытые для международного и пассажирского сообщения, по паспортам или заменяющим их документам (далее – паспорта) при наличии виз Республики Казахстан, если иной порядок не установлен законодательными актами Республики Казахстан и/или международными договорами, ратифицированными Республикой Казахстан.
Aevamo’s reading
Пункт 5 of the Rules imposes the obligation — immigrants enter Kazakhstan only with a Republic of Kazakhstan visa unless legislation or a ratified treaty provides otherwise — and пункты 6 and 17 create the visa-free entitlements and their durations. The Migration Law delegates the entry order to the Government, and this resolution exercises that delegation.
Пункт 5 establishes the general rule that immigrants enter Kazakhstan on passports only if they hold a Republic of Kazakhstan visa unless legislation or a ratified treaty provides otherwise; none of these issuers is covered by such an exemption.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
