Azerbaijan VISA

The application process uses an online form. You do not require any hard copy documents, but you will need to provide a scanned copy of your passport in JPEG format. The copy should be sharp and with all details clearly legible. Maximum file size is 1MB.

An e-Visa allows a maximum stay of 30 days. E-visas are not usually extendable so if you need a longer period you will need to apply for a longer-stay visa through our Longer-Stay visa service.

An e-Visa is valid for 90 days, which means that you must use it within 90 days of issuance (for a single stay of up to 30 days).

No. An e-Visa is always for a single entry but you can easily apply for another visa after you have left Azerbaijan.

No. You would only need a visa if you had to leave the international transit area.

Sorry. Visas are non-refundable.

Not automatically. The relationship between Azerbaijan and Armenia remains tense but Azerbaijan welcomes visitors providing that they have not visited illegally occupied areas of Azerbaijan from Armenia – notably the self-declared entity of Nagorno Karabakh. If you have visited Nagorno Karabakh you will not be allowed to enter the country, as it means the break of the law of Azerbaijan Republican could be liable for prosecution if you come to Azerbaijan.

For standard visas we charge US$75, for urgent visas US$95, though the sum will be billed in AZN (Manats) at the rate of the day. The total fee is made up of the government imposed visa charge, plus our fees covering international operation, card costs and service.

No. All nationals who are eligible for an e-Visa pay the same charge.

No. The visa will arrive electronically as a pdf file. You must print it out (in color, A4 or letter size) and bring it, along with your passport, when you arrive in Azerbaijan.  Please keep the paper with you until you leave the country as it will be checked again on departure. 

If you plan to stay less than ten days there is no need to register. If you plan to stay longer, you must register within the first ten days or risk a substantial fine. The registration process is free through www.migration.gov.az and through the regional offices of the migration department, but it’s simplier to ask your hotel staff to do the registration for you. Most respectable hotels do not charge for the service. 

Most applications are trouble free and you are expected to receive an acceptance notification by e-mail to the address you have registered. If the processing takes more than standard 3 days, please feel free to contact us and we will investigate the hold up on your behalf.
