Arrived to Azerbaijan, passed the temporary registration upon place of stay and received a “TERRIBLE” notice that the date of registration will be valid for the next 90 days (conditionally).
What does it mean, what to do if the term is about to end and you don’t want to pay a fine (which ranges from 300 to 400 manats)?
First of all, DO NOT confuse the extension of period of temporary stay and temporary residence permit (TRP) and permanent residence (PRP) in Azerbaijan! I have already described the procedure of getting a TRP in Azerbaijan in relevant article.
So, what is the procedure for extending the period of temporary stay in Azerbaijan? Let’s review the procedure step by step. So…
