Family of Resident Temporary Residence Permit

The Family of Resident Temporary Residence Permit was established under the Migration Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan to facilitate the accompaniment of foreign nationals who already hold legal temporary or permanent residence status in the country. This permit fills the gap for expatriate families, ensuring that the spouses and dependent children of foreign professionals, investors, or other legal residents can reside with them. It is a vital component of Azerbaijan's migration policy, designed to make the country a more hospitable and long-term destination for international residents.

This permit is specifically for the immediate family members—typically spouses and minor children—of foreigners or stateless persons who have already secured their own legal residency in Azerbaijan. The ideal applicant is a dependent of a primary resident who wishes to join their family member for the duration of their stay. What makes this permit distinctive is its derivative nature; it is entirely dependent on the primary resident's status. It provides a straightforward mechanism for families to stay together, ensuring that the primary applicant's residency in Azerbaijan does not necessitate the separation of their household.
