Foreign nationals and stateless persons may apply for a temporary residence permit personally or through a legal representative at the State Migration Service. Applications are processed within 15 or 20 working days, and eligible grounds include family ties, investment, employment, business activity, education, and other cases provided by law.
According to the source, residence permit applications in Azerbaijan are submitted to the State Migration Service, including through a legal representative. Applicants should focus on the 15- or 20-working-day processing options, the required documents, and whether they qualify under a relevant ground such as employment, education, family ties, business activity, or investment. Investment-based grounds include, for example, real estate or a fixed bank deposit of at least 100,000 manats, while some employment grounds depend on qualifications, a work permit, or entrepreneurship. The information is particularly useful for people planning an actual move rather than a short visit and seeking a residence status.
