Azerbaijan in brief

Azerbaijan is a Caspian country on the border of Europe and Asia with its business centre in Baku. Residence is built around the temporary residence permit (Migration Code, art. 45.1): close kinship with a citizen of the country, investment from AZN 500,000, real estate, a bank deposit or securities from AZN 100,000, employment with a work permit, study, or entrepreneurship. The permit is valid for up to a year and is renewable; after 2 years of continuous residence, the right to a permanent residence permit arises — a status valid for 5 years with an unlimited number of renewals. Naturalisation requires a further 5 years of permanent residence and knowledge of the state language; dual citizenship is not recognised by law, and voluntary acquisition of another citizenship is an independent ground for loss of Azerbaijani citizenship through the courts. Outside Baku, the economy rests on industry (Sumgayit), agriculture, and tourism (Ganja, Sheki, Lankaran); the country lies in a zone of high seismic activity.

Cambodia in brief

Cambodia combines one of the region's most accessible long-stay visa regimes with the absence, for most foreigners, of an ordinary route to permanent residence: a type E visa can be renewed within the country for up to a year at a time an unlimited number of times, but it remains a temporary status that does not turn into a residence permit and does not count toward citizenship. A formal permanent resident status is provided for in the 1994 immigration law, but the grounds and procedure for obtaining it are not publicly described in a verifiable form in practice. The cost of living and rent are among the lowest in Southeast Asia, and the US dollar circulates alongside the riel. Rule-of-law and control-of-corruption scores (World Bank, Worldwide Governance Indicators) are noticeably below the global average.
