Migration is not just crossing the border of a country — it also involves the lawful regulation of legal status, employment, and the right to reside. For foreigners wishing to live, work, and engage in entrepreneurship in Azerbaijan, it is essential to properly prepare residence permits, work permits, and other related documents in accordance with the law. Legal non-compliance can lead to serious sanctions for both individuals and employers.
