Understanding the family residence permit in Azerbaijan
For many Pakistani nationals who relocate to Azerbaijan for business, investment, or education, the next important goal is reuniting with their loved ones. Life abroad becomes truly complete when your spouse and children can join you — and fortunately, Azerbaijan’s Family Residence Permit system makes that possible.
The Family TRC (Temporary Residence Card) enables foreign residents to sponsor their close family members to live, study, and access healthcare legally in Azerbaijan.
However, this process requires proper documentation, certified translations, and full compliance with migration laws.
That’s where AzeImmigration provides critical support — helping Pakistani applicants prepare, translate, and submit all documents accurately for fast, guaranteed approval.
In this guide, you’ll learn how Pakistanis can bring their families to Azerbaijan, what requirements apply, and how AzeImmigration ensures a smooth, compliant, and stress-free relocation for your spouse and children.
The Family Residence Permit (Family TRC) is issued by the State Migration Service of Azerbaijan and allows legally residing foreigners to bring their spouse and children to live with them.
This type of residence is available only to those who already hold a valid Temporary Residence Card (TRC) or Permanent Residence Card (PRC). It grants family members the same legal right to live in Azerbaijan as the sponsor.
Eligible Family Members
Spouse (husband or wife)
Children under 18 years old
Dependents under legal guardianship (in specific cases)
Rights Granted Under the Family TRC
Live, study, and work legally in Azerbaijan (where permitted)
Access local healthcare and education services
Register address and open bank accounts
Travel freely in and out of Azerbaijan
The Family TRC is valid for the same duration as the sponsor’s residence permit and can be renewed annually as long as the sponsor maintains legal residence.

Eligibility for Pakistani Citizens
Pakistani citizens can apply for a Family Residence Permit if one family member — typically the husband or wife — already holds a valid TRC or PRC in Azerbaijan.
Basic Requirements
Sponsor holds a valid TRC or PRC.
Marriage and birth certificates are original, valid, and notarized.
All documents are translated into Azerbaijani and legally attested (apostille or Azerbaijani Embassy attestation in Pakistan).
Proof of income and accommodation in Azerbaijan.
Important Conditions
The marriage certificate must be officially registered — religious certificates alone are not accepted.
For minors, both parents’ consent is required if one parent remains in Pakistan.
The sponsor must maintain valid residence status during the entire application.
AzeImmigration ensures that all documentation meets Azerbaijani legal standards — preventing common mistakes such as missing apostilles, incomplete translations, or unverified certificates.
Step-by-step process: How to bring your family to Azerbaijan
Step 1. Eligibility Review and Document Preparation
Confirm that the sponsor (main applicant) has a valid TRC or PRC. Required documents include:
Copy of sponsor’s TRC or PRC
Valid Pakistani passports for spouse and children
Attested marriage and birth certificates
Proof of accommodation (rental or ownership contract)
Bank statement or proof of income
Health insurance for all family members
AzeImmigration handles all translations, notarizations, and verifications locally to ensure full compliance.
Step 2. Application Submission
Applications are submitted to the State Migration Service of Azerbaijan either online or in person. All forms must be in Azerbaijani.
AzeImmigration ensures that every entry is accurate and formatted correctly — minimizing risk of rejection.
Step 3. Application Processing
The review period typically takes 30–45 business days. We monitor progress, communicate with officials, and update you regularly.
Step 4. Family Residence Card Issuance
Once approved, each family member receives a residence card, valid for one year or equal to the sponsor’s TRC validity. Cards can be renewed before expiry.
