Planning your journey to the Land of Fire? Travel Ginie Tours makes your Azerbaijan adventure seamless, starting with understanding the e-visa process. Here’s everything you need to know about obtaining your Azerbaijan e-visa.
What is an Azerbaijan E-Visa?
The Azerbaijan e-visa is an electronic travel authorization that allows foreign nationals to enter Azerbaijan for tourism, business, or transit purposes. This streamlined online system eliminates the need to visit an embassy or consulate, making your travel preparation faster and more convenient.
Who Needs an Azerbaijan E-Visa?
Citizens from over 90 countries are eligible to apply for an Azerbaijan e-visa online. The eligibility depends on your nationality and the purpose of your visit. Most travelers visiting Azerbaijan for tourism can apply through the convenient e-visa portal.
Types of Azerbaijan E-Visas
Tourist E-Visa: Valid for tourism purposes, allowing stays up to 30 days within a 90-day period.
Business E-Visa: For business travelers attending meetings, conferences, or exploring business opportunities.
Transit E-Visa: For travelers passing through Azerbaijan to reach another destination.
How to Apply for Your Azerbaijan E-Visa
The application process is straightforward and can be completed entirely online:
- Visit the Official Portal: Access the ASAN Visa system (e-visa.gov.az)
- Complete the Application: Fill in your personal details, passport information, and travel dates
- Upload Documents: Submit a scanned copy of your passport and a recent passport-sized photograph
- Pay the Fee: Process your payment using a valid credit or debit card
- Receive Your E-Visa: Your approved e-visa will be sent to your email within 3-5 business days
Required Documents
To apply for your Azerbaijan e-visa, you’ll need:
- Valid passport with at least 6 months validity from your intended entry date
- Recent digital passport photograph (color, white background)
- Valid email address
Processing Time and Fees
Standard processing typically takes 3-5 business days. The visa fee varies depending on your nationality and visa type, generally ranging from $20 to $100 USD. Rush processing options may be available for urgent travel needs.
Important Things to Know
Single vs. Multiple Entry: Most tourist e-visas are single-entry, but multiple-entry options are available for eligible travelers.
Validity Period: Your e-visa becomes valid from the date you specify in your application, not from the date of issue.
