2026 Quick Answer for Canadian Travelers
Canadian citizens require an Azerbaijan ASAN eVisa before flying to Baku. Although older embassy sticker visas required an invitation letter, the official online ASAN eVisa requires only a clear scan of your Canadian passport bio-data page. It grants a single entry of up to 30 days within a 90-day window, and Canadian travelers must enter Azerbaijan by air via Baku (GYD), Ganja (GNJ), or Nakhchivan (NAJ).
Every tier includes the official Azerbaijan government state & service fee plus expert passport verification before filing.

The Tbilisi–Baku passenger train only accepts Azerbaijani nationals and permanent visa-free passports; Canadian eVisa holders departing from Canada or connecting through Tbilisi must fly into Baku (GYD).
If your stay in Azerbaijan exceeds 15 calendar days, you must register your place of stay with the State Migration Service (migration.gov.az) within 15 days of landing.

Canadian expats living in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, or Bahrain with 6+ months remaining on their GCC residency permit can also use the GCC resident arrival lane or apply online in advance.
