"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," said another expat in Baku, Azerbaijan.
