If you’re planning to live in Azerbaijan legally and want to contribute economically through entrepreneurship or company formation, obtaining a business base residence permit is a practical and government-supported path. This is a solid option for foreign nationals looking to start a business and gain residency.
At ACON Consulting, we advise clients who want to relocate to Azerbaijan via business to consider this route. It’s ideal for entrepreneurs and investors aiming to integrate into the local economy while enjoying a stable legal residency status. Unlike the deposit or property options, this route allows active economic engagement and commercial growth.
What Is a Business-Based Residence Permit?
A business-based residence permit is issued to foreigners who establish a company in Azerbaijan or become founders of a legal entity. The permit confirms that the applicant is engaging in legitimate commercial activities and contributing to the local economy. It’s valid for up to one year and is extendable annually.
