In general, citizens and legal entities of the Republic of Azerbaijan may acquire land on the right of ownership, use and lease of land. Foreign natural and legal entities, however, may only lease land. Foreign-owned locally incorporated companies are not considered foreign legal entities and, hence, are not discrminated in this matter. Only branches of foreign companies are subject to such a restriction on access to land. Long-term leases are permitted.
