Azerbaijan grants visa-free access to Hong Kong passport holders

HKSAR passport holders can visit Azerbaijan up to three times without a visa from February 2, 2026

Azerbaijan will grant visa-free access to Hong Kong passport holders starting February 2, 2026. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government announced the arrangement on January 30, 2026, following notification from the Azerbaijani government.

Under the new policy, HKSAR passport holders can visit Azerbaijan up to three times during a one-year period, with a maximum stay of 30 days per entry. The arrangement runs until February 2, 2027.

A spokesman for the Immigration Department said:

"Azerbaijan is along the Belt and Road. Under the Belt and Road Initiative, this visa-free arrangement will bring travel convenience to HKSAR passport holders and strengthen the tourism, cultural and economic ties between the two places."

With the addition of Azerbaijan, 175 countries and territories now offer visa-free access or visa-on-arrival to HKSAR passport holders.
