Your complete Azerbaijan Visa on Arrival and eVisa guide

Azerbaijan offers both electronic visas and visas on arrival for international travelers.

While the visa on arrival option is available at Azerbaijan's international airports, we recommend applying for an eVisa in advance to ensure a smoother entry process.

Read more about the application process and eligibility in this article.

Understanding Azerbaijan visa options and eligibility

The Azerbaijan visa system provides multiple entry options for international travelers:

• Electronic visa (eVisa) - Available for citizens of over 80 countries.

• Visa on arrival - Limited to specific nationalities and entry points.

iVisa Pro Tip: Visitors can apply for visa upon arrival via E-ASAN Self-Desk Kiosks located in the arrival hall before the Passport Control Area (Heydar Aliyev International Airport).

• Traditional visa - Required for citizens not eligible for eVisa or visa on arrival. You can get this visa at your nearest Azerbaijan Embassy.
