The Azerbaijan eVisa (issued through the official ASAN Visa system) is a single-entry electronic visa valid for 90 days that allows eligible foreign travelers to stay in Azerbaijan for up to 30 days. The official government fee is $26 for Standard processing (up to 3 working days) or $61 for Urgent processing (within 3 hours), requiring only a clear passport bio-page scan.
Azerbaijan eVisa (ASAN Visa) Fees and Processing Tiers
Azerbaijan operates one of the world’s most streamlined digital border systems through the ASAN Visa platform. Over 90 nationalities—including citizens of the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, India, Germany, France, and all European Union member states—can apply online for a single-entry Azerbaijan eVisa without visiting an embassy.
The Azerbaijani government sets two official processing tiers based on how quickly you need your visa approved. Standard processing takes up to 3 working days (excluding Azerbaijani weekends and public holidays) and carries an official government total of $26 ($20 state visa fee plus a $6 ASAN processing charge).
For last-minute travel or weekend departures, Urgent processing delivers the approved eVisa within 3 hours—even on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays—and carries an official government total of $61 ($20 state visa fee plus a $41 ASAN urgent service charge). All government fees are non-refundable once submitted.

Document and Passport Validity Requirements for Azerbaijan
Applying for the Azerbaijan eVisa requires only one document upload: a clear, full-color scan or photo of your passport’s bio-data page. You do not need to upload a separate portrait photograph, nor do you need to mail your physical passport to a consulate.
Pay close attention to Azerbaijan’s passport validity rule, as it is phrased differently from many Asian destinations. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months (90 days) AFTER the expiration date of your Azerbaijan eVisa. Because the ASAN eVisa itself is valid for a 90-day window from your selected entry date, your passport effectively needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from the day you plan to enter Azerbaijan.
On the application form, you also provide your occupation, contact details, purpose of visit (such as tourism, business, scientific, cultural, humanitarian, sports, or medical visit), and the address in Azerbaijan where you plan to stay.
- Required upload: Color scan of your passport bio page with all four corners and the bottom MRZ code clearly readable.
- Passport validity rule: Valid at least 3 months beyond the expiry date of your 90-day eVisa (approx. 6+ months from arrival).
- Form details: Purpose of visit, occupation, email address, and your accommodation address in Azerbaijan.
- Family applications: Each traveler—including infants and children with their own passports—requires an individual eVisa.
Important Entry Rules: Air Arrival and 15-Day Registration
Once approved, your Azerbaijan eVisa arrives by email as a PDF certificate. Print a copy and save the PDF on your phone to show both at airline check-in and to State Border Service officers when you land in Azerbaijan.
Keep two critical local rules in mind for 2026: first, Azerbaijan’s land and sea borders remain closed to regular tourist entry under the country’s special quarantine regime, so foreign visitors must enter Azerbaijan by air (most commonly via Heydar Aliyev International Airport, GYD, in Baku, or regional international airports such as Ganja, Nakhchivan, and Gabala). Second, any foreign visitor staying in Azerbaijan for more than 15 calendar days must be registered with the State Migration Service within 15 days of arrival.
Finally, if you need to stay in Azerbaijan beyond 30 days or enter multiple times, an online ASAN eVisa cannot be converted into a multiple-entry visa; multiple-entry visas up to 2 years must be requested through an Azerbaijani embassy or consulate.
