Azerbaijan residence through property or a bank deposit

Compare the two grounds before committing funds

• Property: the State Migration Service lists ownership of real estate in Azerbaijan worth at least 100,000 AZN as a temporary-residence ground. Check the ownership and value evidence required for the specific property.
• Bank deposit: the listed ground is at least 100,000 AZN under a fixed-term deposit agreement with a bank operating in Azerbaijan. Ask about the agreement, evidence and continuing conditions.

The bank must notify the Migration Service within three business days if the qualifying deposit falls below 100,000 AZN or the agreement ends. Do not treat the deposit as money that can be withdrawn without considering residence consequences. Official temporary-residence grounds and deposit conditions ↗

These thresholds do not by themselves guarantee a permit, permanent residence or citizenship. This comparison does not recommend a property or bank, or assess investment returns.

Questions to resolve before a purchase or deposit

• What evidence will establish the qualifying ownership, value or deposit arrangement in your case?
• What other application documents and accommodation evidence will you need?
• What would a sale, withdrawal, contract expiry or other change mean for the residence plan?
• Are family members applying, and what separate grounds and documents apply to each person?

Review these questions before committing money. If the ground is uncertain, agree the scope of any paid assessment first. Compare other residence routes and how company formation and residence differ.

Eligibility, timing and costs are different checks

Official guidance requires applying at least 30 days before the current temporary stay or residence period expires. A purchase or deposit does not replace the application. Preparation time and the requested permit duration need separate review. Official application guidance ↗

• Qualifying asset: the property value or deposit above is not included in a service fee.
• Caspentra support: new qualifying application support from $600; renewal support from $350. The final scope is agreed before paid work.
• Government charges: the ordinary adult up-to-one-year tariff is 120 AZN for 20 working days or 160 AZN for 15 working days. Category and duration affect the tariff. Document and external costs are additional.

Check official state fees and the residence budget and timing guide. Processing periods do not guarantee eligibility or approval.

Discuss the route before selecting paid support

Share the asset type, approximate value, current country, intended timing and whether family members are involved. Do not send bank statements, account numbers or property documents through the public form.
