Residence permit for foreigners investing AZN 500,000+ in Azerbaijan's economy, issued for up to 3 years with 3-year renewals.
The Investor Temporary Residence Permit was established by the Migration Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan to encourage significant foreign direct investment into the country's economy. By setting a clear threshold of 500,000 AZN, the government created a structured pathway for high-net-worth individuals to obtain residency, filling the gap for investors who wish to play an active role in the nation's economic development. This permit serves as a strategic tool to attract capital, promote business growth, and integrate international investors into the local market.
This permit is designed for foreign entrepreneurs and investors who are prepared to make a substantial financial commitment to Azerbaijan. The ideal applicant is an individual or business owner looking to invest 500,000 AZN or more into the economy, whether through establishing a company, purchasing commercial real estate, or other approved economic ventures. It is distinctive because it directly links residency rights to economic contribution, offering a stable and renewable status that rewards those who help drive national growth, while also requiring proof of financial stability and commitment to the country's long-term economic future.
