Azerbaijan immigration and settlement routes

Azerbaijan issues temporary residence on legal grounds including employment, family, investment, property ownership and business activity. A separate permanent-residence application may be available after qualifying continuous residence and substantive conditions; naturalisation is a further independent procedure.
