An Azerbaijan e-visa is an electronic travel authorization that eligible travelers arrange before flying to Baku. Apply through the official ASAN Visa portal and use the passport you will present at Heydar Aliyev International Airport.
Last verified: October 20, 2026. Visa eligibility, fees, processing times, and entry rules can change. Confirm the current rules on the official government portal before booking or traveling.
Who needs an Azerbaijan e-visa?
Visa requirements depend on your nationality, passport type, purpose of travel, and length of stay. Some travelers are visa-exempt, while others may qualify for an e-visa or need a consular visa. Do not rely on an airline blog or an old social media post; check the official eligibility list for your passport.
How to apply
- Open the official ASAN Visa website.
- Check eligibility and enter your nationality and travel details.
- Enter passport information exactly as printed.
- Upload the requested document and review every field.
- Pay the displayed fee and save the application reference.
- Download the approved e-visa and carry a digital and printed copy.
Apply early enough to allow for the selected processing option and correction of mistakes. An approval is not a substitute for a valid passport or compliance with border rules.
