Quick answer
All listed citizens must obtain an electronic travel authorisation (e‑visa) before flying to Azerbaijan. The e‑visa is valid for a single entry and allows a stay of up to 30 days.
How to apply
Visit the official ASAN Visa portal (evisa.gov.az). Choose the 30‑day single‑entry option, fill in passport details, upload a digital photo, and pay the fee with a credit card. After approval, print the e‑visa PDF and keep it for immigration.
- Apply at least 3 business days before travel (check for longer processing during peak season).
- Fee is paid online; no cash payment on arrival.
- No visa on arrival for the listed passports.
Length of stay
The 30‑day e‑visa permits a continuous stay. Extensions are not granted; you must leave the country before it expires.
- If you need a longer visit, apply for a separate visa type (business, study) – check requirements.
Border and security notes
Immigration officers will ask for your printed e‑visa and passport. Keep a digital copy on your phone as backup.
