Frequently asked questions
Can Saudi residents (non-citizens) apply for an Azerbaijan visa?
Yes, Saudi residents can apply. However, they need to provide additional documentation including their valid residence permit (Iqama).
Is travel insurance mandatory for Saudi citizens?
While not strictly required, we strongly recommend obtaining travel insurance for your Azerbaijan trip to cover any medical emergencies or travel disruptions.
Can I extend my stay in Azerbaijan beyond 30 days?
Yes, but you'll need to visit the State Migration Service office in Azerbaijan before your initial visa expires. We recommend applying for the appropriate visa duration initially to avoid complications.
What happens if my passport expires while my visa is still valid?
Your Azerbaijan visa becomes invalid if your passport expires. You'll need to apply for a new visa with your new passport.
