2026 Quick Answer for Filipino Travelers
Filipino citizens holding a valid residence permit (with at least 6 months remaining validity) from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, or Bahrain can obtain a 30-day single-entry Visa on Arrival at Baku Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD). However, the Philippines ordinary passport alone is not currently on the 88-country online ASAN eVisa list — meaning Filipino travelers residing in the Philippines without GCC residency must apply through an accredited Azerbaijani embassy or consulate (such as Jakarta or Beijing).
Every tier includes the official Azerbaijan government state & service fee plus expert passport verification before filing.

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; Filipino eVisa holders departing from the Philippines 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.
