From 2020 to 2024, the number of foreign nationals with work patents changed annually, with figures recorded at year-end. Rows are categorized by composition: the total number of patent holders is provided, alongside a breakdown of nationals from CIS countries, including citizens of Azerbaijan. This allows for an assessment of the share of migrants from CIS countries within the total number of legally employed foreign citizens. The population is measured in thousands of people at year-end, covering all patent holders in the country

Differences between rows allow for tracking the structure of labor migration within the group of patent holders.

The columns present data for five years, enabling a comparison of legal foreign labor volumes at the beginning and end of the period under review
