Moving Back from Azerbaijan: Tax Residency Exit
Azerbaijan State Tax Service exit, AZN liquidation, Baku brokerage close, and SWIFT to NRE before India landing.
The 60-second version
Azerbaijan returnees need State Tax Service non-residency documentation, AZN liquidation, and India Section 6 worksheet before permanent relocation.
Baku exit runs through State Tax Service — not just bank closure
Register departure with tax authority to avoid deemed-resident AZN income next year.
Convert AZN to USD before SWIFT to NRE — AD-1 bank asks for FEMA purpose code.
Bank ops: close Azerbaijan bank.
