Required documents for Temporary Residence Permit application are as follows. Assuming case (i) "AZN100,000 (USD59,000) deposit". (a) Application form (b) Passport copy (validity: requested residency period + 3 months) (c) Bank certificate (d) Health check result (e) 2 photos (3cm x 4cm / Red background) (f) Document of residence (property right registration, rent contract, etc.) (g) Application document by residence owner (h) ID copy of residence owner (i) TRP fee AZN10 (USD6) per permitted month (* Please check with your lawyer on required documents) Good news is that you don't need Police Certificate, which takes time for issuance/authentication! (Looks like crime record is checked through diplomatic channels.) What a easy procedure! All documents are quickly obtained in Azerbaijan without embassy's authentication! Let me describe a bit more. (a) Application Form Download from following link. https://eservice.migration.gov.az/assets/docs/muveqqeti-yasamaq-ucun-icaze.pdf Guess you have no difficulty to fill the fields, as they are pretty common. Please note that you have to write the following declaration in 20 Additional notes: "I have been informed that I will bear administrative responsibility if my actual address of residency differs from the provided one and if I do not inform of an address change within 10 days." (c) Bank certificate Migration Service specifies bank and branch where you open your accounts. Ask your lawyer to check with Migration Service. Just passport is OK to open accounts. Go to bank with your lawyer for account opening, as you have to sign some Azerbaijani documents, on which lawyer's translation is required. Foreign currency accounts (eg. USD, EUR) are accepted by Migration Service, so recommend to open accounts in multiple foreign currencies in addition to AZN, which is under depreciation. Once accounts are opened, send the fund and request Bank Certificate. If you sign/notarize Power of Attorney, your lawyer can receive Bank Certificate instead of you. (* Please check with bank in advance whether lawyer can receive certificate) Regarding fund transfer, recommend to send fund by separated several blocks. If you send large amount, bank's compliance check procedure may be triggered and you may have to submit fund source document and bank certificate of sending bank. (d) Health check Go to "Republican Treatment and Diagnostic Center", near 20 Yanvar station of Metro Green Line. (http://rdm.az/en/) Just passport and AZN80 (USD47) fee are required. You will have blood testing of HIV/HBV/HCV and quick medical inquiry. (f) Document of residence / (g) Application document by residence owner / (h) ID copy of residence owner You have to secure your residence BEFORE you apply Temporary Residence Permit. That is the biggest obstacle of this investor program, I think. Recommended procedure is as follows: (1) Have 1-year rent contract with "hotel" and apply Temporary Residence Permit; (2) Stay at the hotel at the beginning of your life in Azerbaijan; (3) Find your preferred apartment; (4) Check out Hotel and move to apartment.
If you have enough time to choose your preferred apartment to rent/buy, you can firstly secure your apartment, followed by Temporary Residence Permit application.
However, it takes time for finding good apartment and finishing tough negotiation with owner. In case you use apartment for application, you have to ask owner to come to ASAN Service (municipal office) for certification of documents (f), (g) and (h). This may cause a delay of your schedule. A recommended alternative solution is to have 1-year rent contract with hotel and move to Azerbaijan first. Once you find your preferred apartment, just check out hotel and move to the apartment. It is quite easy way. In my case, by using hotel, certification of documents (f), (g) and (h) was not required. (* Please check with lawyer on certification requirement) You may get anxious about the cost, but there are some hotels where you can stay by less than USD500 per month! In case you use hotel as residence, rent contract period becomes the Temporary Residence Permission period, so to get maximum period of residence, make "1-year" contract with hotel. Make sure your hotel contract has proper check-out terms. Start your Baku life in hotel and take your time to find apartment. Once you find apartment, check-out hotel and move to apartment. (You have to register an address change within 10 days to ASAN Service.) Whether you use hotel or apartment, don't worry, lawyer arranges everything well. (Let me know if you want to contact my lawyer.) For more detail, please have a look at Migration Code. Article 46.
