2026 Quick Answer for American Travelers
United States citizens require an approved visa to enter Azerbaijan and are fully eligible for the online Azerbaijan ASAN eVisa. The single-entry eVisa grants up to 30 days of stay within a 90-day validity window. Because Azerbaijan's land borders with Georgia remain closed to eVisa holders until January 2027, American travelers must fly into Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) in Baku with a printed A4 copy of their eVisa.
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; American eVisa holders departing from the United States 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.
US citizens residing in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, or Bahrain may still pre-arrange the online ASAN eVisa before boarding to skip arrival visa queues at Baku Terminal 1.
