Your Expat Community in Azerbaijan

Begin Your New Life as an Expat in Azerbaijan

An oil-rich former Soviet republic with an Eastern coast opening out onto the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan offers a unique blend of Caucasian and Western influences, combined with a fascinating cultural heritage that reflects its position at the crossroads between two continents. Azerbaijan has experienced rapid economic development in recent years, with a secular culture that attracts expats from all over the world. Many expats are drawn to business and investment opportunities in the nation's key industries of oil, gas and mining, with agriculture, tourism and services also playing a significant role. Most business activities are centered in the capital of Baku, an economic powerhouse that has been the site of considerable redevelopment activity in the past decade. Overall, Azerbaijan is a striking and culturally diverse nation where you can expect a warm welcome from local residents and a distinctive blend of modern amenities and ancient custom, making it a fascinating port of call for expats from all walks of life.
