Q: Who needs the Azerbaijan Medical eVisa?

Patients, caregivers and any companion travelling to Azerbaijan for medical care who have an invitation from an Azerbaijani hospital must obtain this e-visa. Exempt groups include Azerbaijani nationals, diplomatic/official passport holders, and crew on duty. See Embassy guidance and Azerbaijan visa information for details.

Q: What happens if I arrive without a valid medical eVisa?

Arriving without the required e-visa risks being denied entry, delayed at immigration, or having your onward hospital transfer postponed. Airlines may also refuse boarding if you lack the correct visa. If you discover the issue before departure use the official portal to apply or contact our support to explore expedited options.

Q: Can I edit or correct my eVisa application after submission?

Minor corrections (typos in contact details) may be possible depending on the official portal's status. For substantive changes — different passport number, new hospital invitation — you'll usually need to submit a fresh application. For embassy-handled cases, consult the issuing mission or visaapplication.mfa.gov.az .

Q: Is a departure Azerbaijan Medical eVisa also required?

No — there is no separate departure e-visa. The e-visa is an entry permission only; exit formalities are handled at departure controls. Confirm current exit rules on the official portal before travel.

Q: Which airports and seaports accept this document?

Present your e-visa PDF at immigration on arrival at any international port. Main international airports: Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD), Nakhchivan International Airport (NAJ), Ganja International Airport (KVD), Gabala International Airport (GBB), Lankaran International Airport (LLK), and Zaqatala International Airport (ZTU). Baku Seaport handles some international passenger services. For airport-specific advice see Azerbaijan Airways & airports .

Q: Can I apply from my mobile phone?

Yes — the official ASAN e-visa portal supports mobile submissions and DoVisa's guided application is mobile-friendly. Make sure scanned documents and your hospital invitation are clear photos or PDF files before uploading.

Q: How far in advance should I apply for the eVisa?

Apply at least 3 days before travel; an urgent 3-hour service is available on the official portal for qualifying cases. We recommend applying 7–14 days ahead to allow time for any document requests. Start your application now to check specific processing options.

Q: What is the step-by-step application process?

1) Prepare passport scan, recent photo, hospital invitation/appointment and proof of insurance. 2) Complete the online application on the official portal or DoVisa. 3) Upload supporting documents and pay fees through the portal. 4) Receive PDF e-visa by email — print or save offline and present at immigration.

Q: Do children need their own Azerbaijan Medical eVisa?

Yes — each traveler, including infants and minors, must hold an individual e-visa or valid entry document. A parent or legal guardian completes the application on behalf of a child and uploads the child's passport and the hospital invitation where required.

What Is the Azerbaijan Medical eVisa?

The Azerbaijan Medical eVisa is an electronic visa category issued to foreign nationals arriving in Azerbaijan for medical examination or treatment after invitation from an Azerbaijani medical institution. The eVisa streamlines consular processing by allowing patients and their accompanying persons to apply online through the official ASAN e-Visa portal rather than visiting an embassy.

Applications are submitted at the official portal (evisa.gov.az) or via DoVisa's guided service for step-by-step assistance. On approval you receive a downloadable PDF e-visa sent by email — print or keep a digital copy to present to immigration on arrival. Medical applicants typically need an invitation or referral from a recognised hospital or clinic; the receiving institution often coordinates the consular invitation process.

The Azerbaijan Medical eVisa is an entry visa — it authorises travel for treatment but does not replace clinical approvals, insurance, or hospital booking confirmations. Azerbaijan simplified parts of its e-visa procedures in August 2024 to make the ASAN e-Visa faster and to reduce some documentary steps for eligible applicants; applicants should confirm current requirements on the official portal before applying.

Key facts: single-entry e-visa allowing up to a 30-day stay, applied at evisa.gov.az. For broader entry rules see Azerbaijan visa information. When you’re ready, Apply for your Azerbaijan Medical eVisa now.

Azerbaijan Entry Requirements & Restrictions

Passport Validity

Your passport should usually be valid for at least 6 months from your date of arrival and have at least two blank pages for entry stamps; check your passport before applying. See the UK and US government guidance for confirmation.

Vaccination & Health Advice

There are no mandatory routine vaccinations to enter Azerbaijan, but the CDC recommends Hepatitis A and staying up to date with MMR. Visit the CDC Traveller Health page for Azerbaijan for current clinical guidance: CDC — Azerbaijan.

Customs & Prohibited Items

Azerbaijan strictly prohibits ammunition, firearms, illegal drugs and other controlled substances; small quantities or residues can still lead to arrest. Electronic cigarette import, sale, and distribution have recent regulatory updates — check Azerbaijan Customs and embassy advisories before you travel.

Medical Insurance & Hospital Documents

Bring confirmation of hospital appointment or an official invitation from the receiving medical institution and proof of medical insurance covering treatment or evacuation. Some clinics require payment guarantees or pre-payment evidence for visa issuance.

Registration During Longer Stays

If you remain in Azerbaijan for more than 15 days, you must register your place of stay with the State Migration Service. Hotels frequently assist with registration, but private rentals require you to register directly: State Migration Service.

Travel Tips for Azerbaijan Visitors

Azerbaijan sits at the Caspian Sea’s western shore with a modern capital, Baku, and growing medical tourism infrastructure. Major international airports include Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD), Nakhchivan International Airport (NAJ), Ganja International Airport (KVD), Gabala International Airport (GBB), Lankaran International Airport (LLK), and Zaqatala International Airport (ZTU). Baku’s seaport handles some international passenger movements.

Currency: Azerbaijani Manat (AZN). Many hotels and larger clinics accept major credit cards; some tourist services accept USD but rely on AZN for local payments.
Language: Azerbaijani is the official language; English is commonly used in private hospitals, hotels and tourist services in Baku.
Time zone: Azerbaijan Standard Time is GMT+4.
Plan transfers: Allow extra time between arrival and scheduled hospital appointments — immigration and registration can take longer for medical visa cases.
Local SIM & data: Buy a local SIM at the airport if you need extended data for hospital communications; check registration rules if using a device long-term.
Cultural respect: Dress modestly when visiting public hospitals and government offices; confirm visiting hours with your clinic.
Safety & borders: Avoid border regions near Armenia — follow travel advisories and consult your embassy if your itinerary approaches restricted areas.
Customs: Declare any medical equipment or medications on arrival and carry prescriptions and manufacturer labels for controlled medicines.
