step 1 of 2

Make a Kazakhstan Apple ID.

KZ storefront is the simplest — interface in Russian, no card required for free apps, no restrictions on Hiddify-class apps.

/ 01

Sign out current Apple ID

Settings → [Your name] → Sign out. Don't worry — photos and contacts stay on the phone, you'll just stop syncing with the old account.

/ 02

Create new — region Kazakhstan

On appleid.apple.com click «Create your Apple ID». Country — Kazakhstan. Address — any (you can google "Astana address"). Phone — Russian number works.

/ 03

Sign in on iPhone

App Store → Profile → Sign in. Confirm — «Review» — accept the agreement. Skip the card step (choose «None»). Storefront now KZ.

step 2 of 2

Connect Selyx.

Some apps need a tunnel: ChatGPT (it bans Russian IPs), Notion (sometimes), foreign banks (always). The trial day is 1 ₽ — enough to check.

01

Sign up + 1 ₽

Email, password, card via YooKassa. Trial day activates instantly.

02

Hiddify from KZ App Store

«Hiddify». Free. Now you'll see — KZ ID was needed for this.

03

Scan QR from dashboard

In the dashboard — QR for iPhone. Open in Hiddify, approve the system permission — done.

faq

Apple ID questions.

Will I lose my photos and contacts?+
No. Photos, contacts, messages stay on the device — they're tied to the local backup, not the Apple ID. iCloud sync stops with the old account, but the data stays.
Can I have two Apple IDs at once?+
Yes — and that's the comfortable setup. iCloud → main RU ID (photos, backups). App Store → KZ ID (apps). Settings → [Your name] → Media & Purchases — switch the App Store account separately.
What about paid apps?+
Use App Store gift cards from Kazakhstan (sold on resale sites for ~5% above face value), or a friend's KZ card. Family Sharing also works.
What if Apple bans the foreign ID?+
Hasn't happened so far — they don't ban for region, only for fraud (chargebacks, multi-account abuse). With a normal KZ ID and a real phone — you're safe.
Is Selyx really required?+
For installing apps — sometimes you can do without (KZ ID + Wi-Fi is enough). For using apps like ChatGPT, Notion, foreign banks — Selyx is needed: they block Russian IPs at the API level.

One Apple ID.
All the apps.

Foreign ID is free. Selyx — 1 ₽ for the trial day.
