Residency in Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan’s position between the Caucasus and the Caspian shapes a distinct national immigration system. Its pathways include local employment, higher education, family ties, active business, and qualifying property or financial holdings. Asset-based residence remains conditional on the qualifying holding, while company registration alone does not establish eligibility for business residence.
