For a growing number of Pakistanis, Azerbaijan has become a preferred destination for launching businesses, investing, or relocating with family. The country’s stable economy, shared cultural values, and strong ties with Pakistan make it an appealing and trustworthy option for long-term living.
To stay in Azerbaijan for more than 30 days, Pakistani citizens must obtain a Temporary Residence Card (TRC). This document allows foreigners to legally remain in the country, open bank accounts, rent property, and even bring their families.
However, applying for a TRC on your own can be difficult. The process involves strict legal steps, multiple verifications, and professionally translated documents.
That’s why AzeImmigration exists — to make the process smooth, fast, and 100 % compliant. Our team helps Pakistanis secure their TRC without delays or errors, managing everything from document preparation to final approval.
Why Pakistanis choose Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan is one of the most affordable and business-friendly countries for Pakistani investors and families. The government encourages foreign entrepreneurship and offers simplified procedures for long-term residence.
Main reasons Pakistanis prefer Azerbaijan:
Strong bilateral relations between Pakistan and Azerbaijan
Easy visa access and official invitation options
Islamic environment and high safety standards
Low cost of living, including housing and healthcare
Broad business potential in real estate, agriculture, tourism, and trade
Many Pakistanis who first arrive for business or tourism later apply for a TRC to settle and invest permanently.

What Is a Temporary Residence Card (TRC)?
A Temporary Residence Card is an official document issued by the State Migration Service of Azerbaijan. It allows foreigners to live, work, and invest legally for up to one year, renewable annually.
A TRC enables you to:
Stay legally without extending a visa
Open bank accounts and register a business
Rent or purchase property under your name
Access healthcare and education
Apply for a Permanent Residence Card (PRC) after one year of continuous stay
Pakistani citizens can obtain a TRC through:
Business ownership or company registration
Property investment
Employment by a local company
Family reunification with a resident or citizen
Each path has specific requirements; AzeImmigration ensures your case meets all legal standards to avoid delays or rejection.

Common Challenges Pakistanis Face
Even though the TRC procedure looks straightforward, many applicants experience rejections due to incomplete or incorrect documentation.
Common mistakes include:
Submitting documents in English or Urdu instead of Azerbaijani
Missing notarization or apostille stamps
Using unregistered agents or fake invitation letters
Applying under the wrong TRC category
Errors in online forms or missing attachments
These mistakes can lead to fines, rejections, or visa overstay penalties.
