What Is the Azerbaijan eVisa?
The Azerbaijan eVisa is an electronic entry permit issued through Azerbaijan’s official ASAN Visa system, allowing eligible travelers to enter the Republic of Azerbaijan for a short visit. It is designed to replace the need to visit an embassy for most standard visitor trips by letting you submit your details online and receive your approval by email. For most visitors, the common e-visa is single entry, valid for travel within a 90-day validity period, and it permits a stay of up to 30 days once you enter.
You apply using the government portal at evisa.gov.az (ASAN Visa), or you can apply through DoVisa for guided completion, photo/passport checks, and support if you’re unsure which fields matter at the border. After approval, you receive the e-visa electronically (typically as a downloadable document sent to your email). Azerbaijan border officials expect you to print it and bring it with your passport, as highlighted in official travel guidance.
Although it is issued electronically, the Azerbaijan eVisa is still a visa (not an arrival card or health form). It does not waive standard entry conditions: you must meet passport validity rules, comply with border restrictions, and follow local registration requirements if you stay longer. Current official guidance notes that entry by land or sea borders is restricted and that travelers can enter by air without restrictions; land borders with Iran and Georgia are temporarily closed. Always confirm your intended route before booking non-air itineraries.
For broader rules beyond the e-visa—extensions, registration after arrival, and border updates—see Azerbaijan visa information and the official ASAN Visa portal. When you’re ready, Apply for your Azerbaijan eVisa now.

Travel Tips for Azerbaijan Visitors
Azerbaijan blends Caspian Sea coastal cities with mountain villages and Silk Road heritage. Most travelers base themselves in Baku, using it as a hub for day trips and domestic flights. Keep in mind that entry routes matter: official guidance notes air entry is straightforward while some land crossings remain restricted or temporarily closed.
- Currency: Azerbaijani manat (AZN). USD is widely exchangeable in banks/exchange offices; carry small AZN for taxis and local cafés.
- Language: Azerbaijani is official; English is common in central Baku hotels, museums, and newer restaurants, but less so in regional towns.
- Time zone: Azerbaijan Time is GMT+4; plan flight connections and tour pickups accordingly.
- Carry a printed copy: Immigration may ask to see a paper printout of your e-visa alongside your passport.
- Stay over 15 days: Arrange registration with the State Migration Service (hotels often handle it; apartment stays require you to do it).
- Photography caution: Follow local guidance—avoid photographing police or security personnel, as advised in visitor guidance.
- SIM/phone planning: If you’ll use a local SIM longer term, be ready to provide your device IMEI when registering.
- Regional safety: Avoid border areas where governments issue advisories; stick to marked roads and reputable tour operators when traveling outside Baku.
