What do I need to know before moving to Baku?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Baku, they said...
"Before moving to Baku, expats should be aware that the official language is Azerbaijani, although Russian is also widely spoken. Expats should also be aware that the cost of living in Baku is relatively high, and that the city is prone to extreme weather conditions, including hot summers and cold winters. Additionally, expats should be aware that the city is very safe, and that there is a wide range of cultural activities and attractions to explore. Finally, expats should be aware that the visa process can be complicated, and that it is important to research the requirements before applying," remarked another expat who made the move to Baku, Azerbaijan.
"Check out traffic patterns before you lease during rush hour -- it can take 2 hours to drive 5 kilometers at rush hour on a Friday evening when the wedding palaces are having their parties -- it isn't even possible to park and walk home because the traffic is so dysfunctional," explained one expat living in Baku, Azerbaijan.
