Investment note (Sept 2026)Published

AZN is pegged at about 1.70 per USD (AZN 100,000 = about USD 58,800). The asset must be kept: banks and the National Depository Center report to the Migration Service if a deposit or securities holding drops below the threshold, and the permit is cancelled when the ground is removed (Art. 50.1.7).

Plan B note (Sept 2026)Published

Real presence rule: absence over 90 days in any 180 cancels the permit, so this is not a hands-off Plan B asset. Permanent residence after 2 continuous years of temporary residence (AZN 200,000 threshold); citizenship after 5 further years counted from the PR grant, with language proof (7 years total).
