Cost of Living in Baku

Baku is a very cheap city if you have euros and come from europe. Come and enjoy

every guest who comes needs help and we have to help them. as an Azerbaijani, I am very happy to help. Happiness isn't just about money. It's more important to make real friends in life. I will be very happy to defend it. to reveal the beauty of Azerbaijan to every person who will come. Don't worry friends. There are many more friendly people in Baku. welcome my country dear friends. I wait every one.

Hi everyone, Azerbaijan is very suitable for doing business especially for foreigners. Rights of foreigners are strictly protected. Azerbaijan is a oil rich country and it really keeps the country running and making progress economically. I studied at the University of Manchester in United Kingdom. I quit my job in 2020 and started my own business in Ganja city which is located at the west of Azerbaijan. Weather in Ganja is clean and suitable in every season. There is not nightlife in Ganja as in Europe cities but there are restaurants where you can easily find yourself relaxed. There is really one difference between Azerbaijan and other countries in the world: the crime rate. There are always crimes are committed in the world. But I see Azerbaijan the most safe place in the world. I remember when I was in UK, many of my friends were robbed and beaten. But in Azerbaijan you can have fight with someone if you really want to ;) I love Azerbaijan and this country is really for people who want to start a new page in their life. I see many comments about corruption and I agree with that but even in United Kingdom I saw corruption) So if you get along with it you can live in this country and for foreigners it is heaven.

To everybody interested to come to Azerbaijan:
People are more hospitable compared to the West. Earning 2000$ a month is more than enough for 1 person. In comparison, my dad's salary is officially 250$ but he gets bonuses and it reaches 500$. We are a family of 4. You probably think how we survive here with this amount of money, well we wouldn't survive if my mom didn't get +150$ for a fake disability. There is corruption everywhere in Azerbaijan. Starting from the government ending at schools. Most people here don't speak English properly, only those who really worked hard at school - like me. If you want to choose a place to live, I can suggest only two cities - Baku and Sumgait. Other places are too boring in the opinion of a person who's been living in Baku for their whole life. I didn't know so many foreigners were trying to move here, I'm planning to move to Europe to study in 4 years.

#Anonymous of course Azerbaijan allow immigrants I've seen plenty of immigrants during my time in Baku, from places like the middle east and Western Europe.

how profitable is the cosmetic business in Azerbaijan?

what are the prices for high end French brands lipsticks and face foundation and other French color make up products?

Azerbaijan are beautiful country But the living in it is very extravagant!!! Compared to Turkey, The living Turkey is much cheaper.

ı May move to Azerbaijan next year ( would be this year if there was no covid 19) i will earn about 2000 USD. Planning to rent a furnished apartment with two bedrooms in downtown. I have a normal lifestyle. is this amount enough to live and save for a married couple with no kids. By the way, i am turkish. is being a turk in azerbaijan give me any advantages or disadvantages?

Don't worry about the ambiguous future, just work hard for the sake of clarity

I live in Baku, I moved here 20 years ago. Yes it seems, salaries are very low but expenses are high. Normal person thinks, how someone pays 500 rent, 300-400 for monthly food, 100 for basic utilities and etc. The Answer is : Corruption. How it works?

For example , i am getting 1500 manat + bonuses but officially my salary is 285 manat ( company shows salaries low to pay less taxes) .

And if you work in govermental companies. Your salary is 400 manat , and you can get a lot of corruption money.

People pay 100000-150000$ to get 200$ monthly salary in governmental jobs because they know there a lot of black money

I speak English and I intend to move to Azerbaijan to look for a job. Is there any hope for me in Azerbaijan?

If any person earning a 300 or 400 manat salary so how person can pay all the expenses in azerbaijan

I'm coming to AZER to study Next month and I need a JOB , which area in Baku can i see mainly blacks

Hi @ anonymous I am a iranian guy but etnically azari. have been living in scandinavia for almost 30 years and I am sick of it now. I can go back to Iran. Can I immigrate to Baku? Will I be considered as immigrant in your country even I speak azari?
