Summary
  • Azerbaijani citizens must apply in advance for a UK visa—no exceptions or visa on arrival.

  • Biometrics are required at the UK Visa Application Centre in Baku.

  • Most rejections stem from incomplete sponsor documents or weak return evidence, iVisa helps fix both.

At iVisa, we help travelers from Baku and beyond avoid costly delays and get approved, even after rejections.

Do I need a UK Visa with an Azerbaijan passport?

Yes. Azerbaijan is not on the UK visa-exempt list, so all Azerbaijani passport holders need a visa for:

  • Tourism and sightseeing
  • Visiting friends or relatives
  • Business events and short conferences
  • Private medical treatment
  • Courses up to 6 months

Most visitor visas are valid for 6 months, but you can also apply for 2, 5, or 10 years.

How to apply for a UK Visa from Azerbaijan

  1. Submit the online application
    Our platform and mobile app help you complete the UK form clearly and accurately.

  2. Gather your supporting documents
    We help you prove your funds, purpose, and intent to return to Azerbaijan.

  3. Attend your biometric appointment
    Go to the UK Visa Application Centre in Baku to provide fingerprints and a photo.

  4. Wait for approval
    Standard processing takes 15–30 working days, but faster options may be available.

Here's the current timeline:

UK Visa required documents for Azerbaijanis

📄 Document 📌 What to include
Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your UK travel dates
Financial evidence Bank statements or sponsor documents covering your stay
Accommodation Hotel booking or UK host invitation letter
Travel plan Dates, itinerary, and reason for your visit
Ties to Azerbaijan Work, school, or family proof to show intent to return

💡 Quote from Catherine Thurtle, UK visa consultant at iVisa:

"Most Azerbaijani rejections come down to unclear proof of return or sponsor finances. These are fixable mistakes — if you know how."

How much does the UK Visa cost for Azerbaijan passport holders?

Your total cost depends on how long your visa lasts and whether you choose standard or priority processing. All payments are online. Check the fees (including iVisa service) here:
