2026 Quick Answer for Malaysian Travelers
Malaysian citizens require a visa to enter Azerbaijan and have two convenient options in 2026: applying online in advance for the Azerbaijan ASAN eVisa (90-day validity, 30-day single-entry stay) or obtaining a 30-day single-entry electronic Visa on Arrival at Baku Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD). Pre-applying for the ASAN eVisa online lets Malaysian travelers skip the ASAN self-service payment kiosks at Baku Airport after a long flight from Kuala Lumpur (KUL).

All road land borders into Azerbaijan — including Red Bridge from Georgia, Samur from Russia, and Astara from Iran — remain closed to passenger entry until at least 2 January 2027. The Tbilisi–Baku passenger train only accepts Azerbaijani nationals and permanent visa-free passports; Malaysian eVisa holders departing from Malaysia 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. Registration is free of charge and is normally completed automatically by licensed hotels in Baku, Sheki, or Gabala; travelers staying in private apartments must submit the online registration form themselves to avoid a 300–400 AZN departure fine.
Malaysian expats living in Dubai, Doha, or Riyadh can either pre-apply for the online ASAN eVisa or use the Baku Airport VOA desk.
Yes. Malaysia is not on Azerbaijan's visa-exempt list. Malaysian passport holders must either obtain an ASAN eVisa online before departure or get a 30-day single-entry Visa on Arrival at Baku Airport (GYD).
