Timeline

After retaining MICS and paying its initial professional fee, the first step is to choose the investment type. For real estate, a property reservation agreement is signed and the deposit is paid.

The applicant can choose the property in person or via a video call. MICS will then provide a detailed list of required civil and financial documents.

Once all documents are collected and ready for submission, government processing fees, due diligence fees, and MICS’s second professional fee will be due.

The completed application is submitted to the State Migration Service of Azerbaijan. The application will be evaluated for conformity with Azerbaijan residence permit requirements. The applicant will be invited to finalise the real estate purchase or confirm the deposit/investment.

The residency permit will be issued for all family members in the file. After approval, the Azerbaijan Temporary Residence Card (TRC) will be issued and can be collected at one of the MICS offices or delivered to the applicants. This is when the final payment of the MICS professional fee balance will be due.
