Time in Kazakhstan is regulated by the Decree «Қазақстан Республикасы аумағында уақыт есептеу тәртібі туралы»^[1] (English: On the Procedure for Calculating Time on the Territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan), according to which time zone is applied: UTC+05:00 (from March 1, 2024)^[2] and Daylight Saving Time is not observed since it was abolished in 2005.

The difference in geographical longitude between the extreme eastern and western points of Kazakhstan is 40°45′, which corresponds to the difference in local solar time of 2 hours 43 minutes.
