Looking forward to have pieces of advice and make some friends in Baku

walikum salam

yes i am in baku! language is big issue here. As azeri is the primary language while russian is the second language. Very Few people, mostly in office can speak or understand english.

Currency devaluation is sigificant and expectation is that it will cross 1$ = 2 azn while current official rate is 1.63 while bank deal @ 1.70 but no bank will give you dollar , you can just sale a dollar at bank in these days. even in black market dollar rate cross 1.8 azn.

so, people who getting salary in local currency suffer a lot .

now's day getting a work permit is also an issue. it is adviceble to get work permit in advance. if possible fix you salary in dollar.

Are u working in Baku?

Thanks a lot for such a kind advice. I already have the business visa which is valid for 90 days as the company is saying that they will apply for my work permit once I will be at BAKU. i beleive with your recommendation, I will now ask them to provide me a permit before my arrival.

Thanks again. I will be on touch with you. God bless.

Kind Regards,
Hassan
