| Income requirement | Azerbaijan's temporary student-residence ground is based on qualifying enrollment, with no monthly-income threshold stated for the student applicant. If the person later applies for permanent residence, the general minimum-needs funds documentation may apply unless a statutory exception or support undertaking applies.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |
| Savings requirement | No fixed savings balance is stated for the temporary student-residence ground; the required basis is qualifying enrollment and the prescribed residence documents. A later permanent-residence application can trigger general proof of funds for minimum needs, but the Migration Code gives no fixed savings amount for that requirement.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |
