The ASAN eVisa system allows 95 nationalities to apply online. Before planning your trip to Baku, verify the strict 3-month passport rule, the 15-day registration law, and current border entry mandates.
The Azerbaijan eVisa is a mandatory online travel authorization for eligible visitors arriving for short-term tourism, business, or medical purposes. It entirely replaces the need to visit a physical embassy for ordinary passport holders.
Before paying any fees, you must confirm that the passport you hold matches an eligible nationality (residency cards like a US Green Card do not count). Additionally, your passport must contain an expiration date that extends at least three months beyond the expiration of your 90-day eVisa.

Azerbaijan has officially extended its "Special Quarantine Regime" through April 2026. This law dictates that all land borders are strictly closed to incoming foreign passenger traffic. You cannot enter Azerbaijan by driving or taking a train from neighboring Georgia, Russia, Iran, or Turkey. Your initial entry must be via a commercial flight. You are, however, legally permitted to exit the country via a land border.
The ASAN portal utilizes automated OCR technology. You must upload a high-quality, full-color scan of your passport's biographical page where the bottom MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) lines are entirely visible and free from glare. No separate passport photo is required.
The strict passport validity rule is the leading cause of application rejection. Your passport must remain valid for at least three months beyond the expiry date of the eVisa itself. Practically, this means your passport needs a minimum of six months of remaining validity on the day you submit your application online.
Search your exact passport nationality below. Eligibility is based strictly on citizenship, not on residency cards (such as a US Green Card). Dual nationals must apply using the passport they will travel with.

The terminology used on official forms can feel a bit confusing, but the rules are actually pretty straightforward once you separate them out.
