Obtaining an eVisa for Azerbaijan is a crucial step for travellers wishing to visit this Caucasus country. However, the process can be complex and a poorly prepared application can result in rejection. Here's an article outlining best practice for maximising your chances of obtaining your eVisa without a hitch.
Understanding the basic requirements
Before you begin your application, it is essential to understand the eligibility criteria. Azerbaijan offers an eVisa to nationals of many countries, including France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the UK, the USA, Canada and many others. The eVisa is valid for a single entry and a maximum stay of 30 days.
Prepare your application thoroughly
Documents required
To avoid rejection, make sure you have all the necessary documents to hand before you start your online application. You will need a scanned copy of the first page of your passport, which must be valid for at least 3 months after the scheduled expiry date of your eVisa. This is the only document you will need to apply.
Precise information about your trip
Provide accurate information about your trip. This includes your planned entry and exit dates, as well as the address of your accommodation in Azerbaijan. If you are staying in a hotel, make sure you have a confirmed reservation before making your request.
Fill in the form accurately
Accuracy is essential when filling in the online form. Any error, however minor, may result in your application being rejected. Please check the following information carefully:
Personal data
Make sure that your surname, first name, date of birth and passport number correspond exactly to the information on your passport. A simple typing error can be grounds for rejection. Our team is trained to detect the slightest error of this kind.
Reason for travel
Clearly state the purpose of your visit. Common options include tourism, business, study, or family visits. Be honest and consistent with the other information provided in your application.
Respecting deadlines and procedures
Processing times
Standard processing of an eVisa application for Azerbaijan generally takes up to 10 working days. However, it is strongly recommended that you apply as early as possible to allow for any delays or requests for additional documents.
Emergency procedure
If you need a visa quickly, Azerbaijan offers an emergency procedure for obtaining an eVisa within 3 hours, for an additional fee. This option is available even on public holidays and weekends. We do not currently offer this service.
Payment and confirmation
Confirmation and printing
Once your application has been paid for and approved, you will receive your eVisa by email. It is vital that you print this document and keep it with your passport for presentation on arrival in Azerbaijan.
Common mistakes to avoid
There are a number of common mistakes that can lead to your eVisa application being rejected. These include
- Providing incorrect or inconsistent information
- Use a photo that does not comply with the required standards
- Not having sufficient validity on your passport
- Applying for a visa for a stay of more than 30 days
- Failure to mention previous visits to Azerbaijan
By using our services, you put all the chances on your side to obtain your approved eVisa.
