Important Instructions for Azerbaijan eVisa Applicants

Although obtaining the Azerbaijan e-Visa is a smooth process, there are certain conditions applicants must be aware of before applying. For applicants’ convenience, we have listed the most important rules related to the e-Visa.

1. The Azerbaijan e-Visa is a short-term visa that allows single entry, with a maximum stay of 30 days and a validity period of 90 days from the date of issue.
2. The applicant must leave the country’s territory using the same e-Visa that was used to enter the country. However, if the temporary stay period is extended due to unforeseen circumstances or the State Migration Service of Azerbaijan issues a temporary residence permit, this condition will be rendered void.
3. The applicant must carry the same passport used for the eVisa application when entering Azerbaijan. Since the e-Visa is obtained online, the passport will be stamped by border control authorities upon arrival. Make sure the passport remains valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry.
4. If you do not use the electronic visa within the permitted validity period, it will become invalid.
5. Even if you meet the application eligibility criteria, you cannot obtain a visa at the border checkpoint upon arrival.
6. In case your e-Visa application is rejected, stateless individuals and foreigners can reapply through the Azerbaijan embassy in their area of residence.
7. Applicants holding dual nationality or multiple citizenships must apply using a passport that is eligible for the Azerbaijan e-Visa and ensure that the same passport is used for travel and entry into Azerbaijan.
