    Hi, I am an Afghan citizen, I would like to get TRC by investment in Azarbijan , how much is the minimum amount to invest ? Thank you

    The minimum threshold is generally 100,000 AZN (e.g., real estate, bank deposit, or securities), while higher amounts apply for certain types of business investment. Vəkil Qulam İsmayılzadə

    Hi sir i have evisa of Azerbaijan so can i apply for trc by holding evisa of Azerbaijan, i be able to do work there after i get trc? Is there anyway of getting trc on evisa ?

    You cannot get a Temporary Residence Card (TRC) directly with an e-visa. You must have a valid reason (such as work, study, family reunification, or property ownership) and apply to the State Migration Service before your e-visa expires. You can work only after obtaining both a TRC and a work permit. Vəkil Qulam İsmayılzadə

    Hi there, we have a formally translated marriage deed by a certified translator marriage and it has also bern certified by the issuing country’s judiciary system but it isnt appostilled. Does Azerbaijan accept this document as proof of relationship for trp? Or does it HAVE to be appostilled.

    Azerbaijan generally requires foreign documents to be **notarized and apostilled** (or consular legalized) to be officially recognized for legal purposes, including TRP applications. Without an apostille, the document **may not be accepted** as proof of marriage. It is recommended to obtain an apostille to ensure full recognition. Vəkil Qulam İsmayılzadə

    Unfortunately having a TRP in Azerbaijan does not grant you visa-free travel to other countries by itself. Vəkil Qulam İsmayılzadə
