25 advantages of moving to Azerbaijan

In today’s blog, we are going to discuss which 25 benefits you can get in Azerbaijan if you migrate to Azerbaijan, migrate with your family, or migrate by taking property residence, or if you migrate to Azerbaijan by setting up a business or by making an investment. 

If you live here, then what are these nearly 25 benefits?

Today’s blog is definitely going to be long, and you can read it in parts, but I will share nearly 25 points with you. These 25 are the ones that were in my mind at this time, which I am sharing with you.

Which are the 25 benefits getting property in Azerbaijan?

We start with number one.

Number one: Azerbaijan is the cheapest country in the world in terms of investment.
If we talk about investment, if you take residence in Azerbaijan by investing, then in the world you see figures like 200,000 dollars, 300,000 dollars, 400,000 dollars, or even millions.

But in Azerbaijan, if you buy only 60,000 US dollars worth of residential property, then you invest in property, and you, your wife, and your children under 18 years of age get residence: two years of temporary residence, and after five years of permanent residence, you get the Azerbaijan passport.

So, this is the cheapest country in the world in terms of investment.

Why is it safe to live in Azerbaijan?

Number two: You can say it is the world’s safest country.
It is the safest country in the world. Here even the police do not carry weapons; therefore, the crime ratio here is negligible. There is no mobile snatching, no robberies, no theft, no killing, and no violence like that here.

Therefore, you can say it is the safest country in the world. When you compare safety, it is safer than the UK and America, safer than Europe as well. In Azerbaijan, in terms of safety, you can live safely and securely with your family.

Even if, for example, you are withdrawing four to five million or ten million rupees from a bank, you do not need security guards. Azerbaijan is the safest city.

Number three: Living expenses here are lower than Europe, the UK, and also lower than America.
If we talk about Turkey, living expenses here are lower than Turkey as well.

Many families want the European, UK, America, Canada lifestyle, the environment and safety at that level, so for them Azerbaijan is a very beautiful and safe country.

For example, if you live in Europe, the UK, or America, your monthly expense is 2,000 dollars or more. In Turkey, with family, this expense reaches about 1,200 dollars.

Here in Azerbaijan, if a family of three to four or five people lives, their maximum monthly expense is around 500 to 600 dollars on average. If you have a slightly larger family, it may go higher, but compared to the UK, America, Canada, and Turkey, it is straightforward 40% cheaper than Turkey, and compared to the UK and America, it is more than 50%, even 60 to 70% cheaper.

Number four: Best for export expansion.
Manufacturers in Pakistan or any other country who want to expand their exports, Azerbaijan is called the gateway of Europe.

On one side is Russia, on one side is Europe, on one side is Turkey, and then Central Asian countries. More than half the world is connected through Azerbaijan by road, rail, sea, and air. There are many trade agreements and preferential trade agreements with Europe.

So, for expansion as a manufacturer and exporter, Azerbaijan can become a hub.

Number five: Gateway to Europe.
It is a gateway to Europe, Russia, Central Asia, and Turkey. Turkey itself is a very big market. You can expand your business into Turkey, Russia, Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan.

People from all these countries come here for trade, which is a big plus point.

Number six: Lowest business cost for small businesses.
Offices and shops are cheap compared to Europe and Turkey. Labor is cheap—between 150 to 300 dollars you can easily find graduates and master’s degree holders.

In Turkey, workers cost at least 600 to 800 dollars. In Europe, it is even more expensive. Compared to Russia, Europe, and Turkey, Azerbaijan is cheaper.

There are many opportunities, but due to misuse by some agents from India and Pakistan, business residence has become difficult. That is why we recommend property residence first, then setting up a business.

With 60,000 dollars property, your capital gains double in two to two and a half years. As a property owner, your operational cost becomes zero.

Number seven: Low tax.
Simplified tax is 4% in Baku if annual turnover is below 60,000 manats. In other cities, it is 2%. Tourism, agriculture, and livestock are tax-free. This is a very good opportunity for small businesses.

Number eight: Growing tourist destination.
Tourists come from Japan, South Korea, the Middle East, Turkey, Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan, and America. Where tourism grows, small businesses grow easily—hotels, hostels, transport, food, and souvenirs.

Number nine: One of the most stable currencies in the world.
For the past five to seven years, the manat has not changed even one point. So investment growth is real and genuine.

Number ten: Oil and gas rich country.
Azerbaijan has reserves for 100 years. It is one of Europe’s biggest gas suppliers. Its economy depends 98 to 99% on oil and gas exports.

Number eleven: Fastest developing country with a growing economy.
While Europe, the UK, America, and even China are facing crisis, Azerbaijan’s economy is growing due to energy demand.

Number twelve: Transit hub.
A huge free port has been developed at Alat, near Baku. Thousands of containers move monthly between China and Europe. This makes Azerbaijan a mini Dubai for logistics and transit trade.

Number thirteen: No major conflicts with global powers.
Azerbaijan maintains balanced diplomacy with America, China, Russia, the UK, and Europe.

Number fourteen: Best capital gains.
Investments have shown 30 to 40% real capital gains, and in some areas even more than 100%.

Number fifteen: Free education and medical facilities for residents.
Doctor consultations are free, and education is free based on merit.

Number eighteen: Easy visa for the whole world.
Clients and investors can easily visit Azerbaijan.

Number nineteen: Well connected to the world by air, land, and sea.
Direct flights to America, Canada, Australia, Europe, Russia, Japan, Korea, and China.

Number twenty: Cheap and best higher education.
Degrees are internationally accepted, with exchange programs in Europe, the UK, and America.

Number twenty-one: Next industrial hub.
Smart cities, free trade zones, and industrial zones are being developed.

Number twenty-two: Best industries include medicine, textiles, IT, tourism, logistics, manufacturing, and livestock.

Number twenty-three: Muslim country with 100% education and safety.
Women are fully safe at any time of day or night.

Number twenty-four: Halal food everywhere.
Over 95% population is Muslim. Culture is very close to Turkey.

Number twenty-five: Very good family system.
Unlike Europe, the UK, America, and Canada, children here respect parents, family values are preserved, Islamic values remain strong, and families live together even after marriage.

If you ask me, in my view, Azerbaijan is the best country in the world for Muslims migrating with family—safe, secure, halal, affordable, fast-growing, with a strong economy and stable currency.

If you want to migrate, the best solution is property investment. Property doubles in value in two to two and a half years, and your family gets residence.
