Visa Requirements

American citizens traveling to Azerbaijan on a U.S. passport must obtain a visa. Complete information regarding Azerbaijani visas is available at the Embassy of Azerbaijan’s website: http://www.azembassy.us./

Transit and short stay single entry visas (up to 30 days) can be obtained upon arrival at the H. Aliyev International Airport of Baku. To obtain a visa at the airport, you must:

complete a visa application form upon arrival,
attach 2 passport-size photos, and
pay the consular fee of $131.00 in cash.

Current, valid visas are required in order to depart Azerbaijan, meaning that visitors who receive airport visas and remain in Azerbaijan for more than 30 days need to extend their visas. Before your visa expires, you must apply to extend it at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, located at 4 Shikhali Gurbanov Street, Baku, telephone (994 12) 492 3401.

All foreigners visiting Azerbaijan for a period of more than 30 days must register their passports with the local passport-registration authorities within 3 days of their arrival to Azerbaijan. For more information, please see: http://www.mia.gov.az/ecnebi_vetendash_en.html.

For more information regarding the renewal or extension of Azerbaijani Visas, please contact the Consular Section of Azerbaijan Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
