| Income requirement | No monthly-income threshold is stated for temporary residence based on property ownership. Permanent residence is different: the Migration Code generally requires evidence of funds sufficient for the minimum needs of the applicant and accompanying family members, with limited sponsor-support exceptions; the AZN 200,000 property value is not itself stated as a waiver of this proof.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
|---|
| Savings requirement | No separate fixed savings balance is stated for the temporary property-owner permit. A permanent-residence application generally requires evidence of funds for minimum needs, but the Migration Code sets no single amount and its property-ground threshold does not list the bank-deposit/securities exemption from that proof.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |

| Investment requirement | For temporary residence, own Azerbaijan real estate valued at no less than AZN 100,000. The permanent-residence property ground has a separate AZN 200,000 threshold after the required residence period.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
