The Azerbaijan eVisa is our most popular travel document for this destination. We’ll guide you through any unclear questions during the application process.

We review your application

The Azerbaijan eVisa system is known for being strict – your photo must be the right size, and your passport scan must be clear.

Don’t worry – we review your whole application to catch anything that might cause delays. One of our experts checks everything for errors or missing information to make sure it’s ready to go. This review is quick but thorough.

We submit it for government processing

We’re not the Azerbaijani government, but we submit your application to them and are here for you along the way if there are any problems.

Get your Azerbaijan eVisa

We’ll email your approved eVisa and let you know how to use it for your trip.

💡Pro-tip: When applying for your Azerbaijan eVisa, double-check your travel dates. The eVisa is date-specific and can’t be used outside your selected travel window.

Azerbaijan eVisa

This electronic visa is valid for tourism, business, medical, transit, and cultural visits. It’s available to citizens of over 90 countries and is valid for single entry with a stay of up to 30 days.

You must apply at least 3 business days before your trip, but we recommend applying at least two weeks in advance to avoid issues.

You’ll need:

🛂 Your passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry.

🤳 A passport-style photo: Follow our instructions for size and quality.

🏠 Accommodation details: Confirmation of the hotel where you’ll be staying

Azerbaijan Business eVisa

This visa allows entry for short-term business-related activities such as conferences, meetings, or trade fairs. It is also issued as a single-entry visa, valid for up to 30 days.

You must provide a business invitation letter from an Azerbaijani entity and prove you are not taking up employment in the country.

Azerbaijan Visa on Arrival

Travelers from the following countries can get an electronic visa on arrival at any international airport in Azerbaijan, allowing a stay of up to 30 days: Bahrain, China, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and South Korea.

The visa on arrival costs around $30 USD, except for Japanese citizens, who are exempt from the fee.

U.S. citizens were previously eligible for a visa on arrival if arriving on a direct flight from New York to Baku. However, as of 2024, there are no direct flights operating between the two cities.

This means U.S. travelers must now apply online for an eVisa unless they qualify under a different exemption.

Azerbaijan Tourist Visa (Paper Visa)*

This is a traditional embassy-issued visa for travelers not eligible for the eVisa or needing longer stays. It allows visits of 30–90 days, depending on the embassy's decision.

*We currently don’t offer this visa. You can apply in-person at an Azerbaijani embassy or consulate and usually takes longer to process.

Azerbaijan Transit Visa*

Required for nationalities that need a visa to transit through Azerbaijan. The transit visa is typically valid for up to 5 days, depending on your travel itinerary.

*We currently don’t offer this visa, but it’s available via the Azerbaijan embassy.

Azerbaijan visa policy

Azerbaijan offers several visa options based on the purpose of your visit and your nationality. Citizens of over 90 countries, including the EU, UK, UAE, and the United States, can apply for an Azerbaijan eVisa online, valid for 30-day stays within a 90-day window.

Other travelers may need to apply for a traditional paper visa at an Azerbaijani embassy or consulate, especially if their purpose involves transit, work, study, or extended stays.

The Azerbaijan visa policy also covers business travelers, transit passengers, and medical visitors, each with tailored visa types. Entry requirements may include proof of accommodation, return flight, travel insurance, and sufficient funds.

Travelers entering Nagorno-Karabakh or other disputed regions without Azerbaijani approval may be banned from entering Azerbaijan in the future. It's crucial to follow government guidelines carefully.

For the latest visa rules, always check with the State Migration Service of Azerbaijan or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

FAQs

How long is my Azerbaijan visa valid for?

This depends on the visa you’re issued. If you’re unclear, you can contact us on WhatsApp – we're available 24/7.

How long does the Azerbaijan eVisa take to process, and when should I apply?

Most travelers receive their Azerbaijan eVisa within 3 business days.

However, delays can occasionally occur, so apply at least two weeks before your trip. If time is tight, select our Super Rush service, but keep an eye on your email for updates.

We’ll process your eVisa as fast as as possible – you’ll see the exact time during checkout.

What if my payment is declined during the Azerbaijan eVisa application?

Some travelers have reported payment failures on the government when applying. One user said they “repeatedly had my payment denied” on the official site.

If this happens to you, try using a different credit or debit card (Visa/MasterCard), ensure your card has 3D Secure enabled, and try again. You can also contact your bank or contact the ASAN Visa help desk.

Alternatively, we offer much easier and flexible options. When applying through iVisa, you can pay securely online with a debit or credit card, PayPal, Amazon Pay, and more. No need to use a credit card and better yet, no payment glitches. Plus, if something happens, our team is available 24/7 to help out via WhatsApp.

Can I apply for a Azerbaijan multiple-entry eVisa?

Azerbaijan doesn’t offer a multiple-entry visa. The standard eVisa is single-entry only, permitting one 30-day stay. You must apply for a new visa every time you want to travel to Azerbaijan.

How do I apply for an Azerbaijan visa?

You can apply for your eVisa through the government or iVisa (or download our mobile app).

Supporting documents like your passport, photo, and purpose of travel are required.

What are common reasons Azerbaijan eVisas get rejected?

Accuracy is essential, especially spelling, passport details, expiry dates, and photo quality.

Rejections often happen due to mismatched info or unreadable passport scans. If your visa is rejected, you can reapply, but fees are usually non-refundable.

When applying through iVisa, you get a full review by one of our experts of your application to avoid errors, for your peace of mind.

What happens if I overstay my Azerbaijan visa?

Overstaying can lead to visa cancellation, fines, or bans on future travel to Azerbaijan. It's important to leave the country before your visa expires or apply for an extension if eligible.

What if I’m just transiting through Azerbaijan?

If you're merely transiting through Baku and not exiting the international transit zone, you don't need a visa. However, if you plan to leave the terminal, even for a short period, you must apply for an eVisa or transit visa.

Do I have to register after I arrive in Azerbaijan?

Yes, if you stay longer than 15 days, you must register your accommodation with the State Migration Service within that timeframe (Kazakhs have a 30-day rule). Registration is free and often handled by your hotel or landlord, but failure to register could result in fines when you leave, so make sure to double-check.
