Overview

Temporary residence for foreigners owning property worth AZN 100,000+ or holding equivalent bank deposits or government securities in Azerbaijan.

The Real Estate & Financial Assets Residence Permit is governed by the Migration Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan, which outlines the legal framework for foreign nationals seeking residency through investment. This permit was established to attract foreign capital and encourage long-term commitment to the country's economic development. It fills a critical gap for international investors, property owners, and those holding significant financial assets who wish to secure a stable legal status in Azerbaijan without necessarily engaging in local employment or business operations.

This permit is ideal for high-net-worth individuals, real estate investors, and those with substantial savings who intend to maintain a presence in the country. Applicants must own immovable property in Azerbaijan valued at no less than AZN 100,000 or hold equivalent financial assets, such as a term deposit in a local bank or government securities. What makes this permit distinctive is that it provides a pathway to residency based purely on financial standing and asset ownership, offering a straightforward, investment-backed alternative to traditional work-based or family-reunification residency routes.

Advantages & Considerations

Key Benefits

Provides a clear, investment-based pathway to residency.
Valid for up to 1 year initially, with the possibility of extension for up to 2 years at a time.
Allows for free movement within the country and visa-free entry/exit during the permit's validity.
Can be a stepping stone toward permanent residency (which requires 200,000 AZN investment).

Worth Knowing

The 100,000 AZN threshold is for temporary residence; permanent residence requires a higher investment (200,000 AZN).
Market value must be verified; ensure the property is appraised correctly.
The permit does not automatically grant the right to work; a separate work permit may be required for employment.
Must comply with all local registration and tax obligations related to property ownership.
