How long does it take to obtain an e-Visa for Azerbaijan?

To obtain an e-Visa for Azerbaijan, it generally takes a few working days. However, this period may vary depending on a number of factors, such as the speed with which your application is processed and possible delays due to additional checks.

Standard option

The standard option is the most common method of obtaining an e-Visa for Azerbaijan. It usually takes a few working days to process. The cost of this option is relatively moderate, but it should be noted that it does not guarantee that the visa will be obtained within this timeframe.

Urgent option

For those who need an e-Visa quickly, there is also an urgent option. This method allows you to obtain an e-Visa in just a few hours, for a much higher fee. However, it is advisable not to wait until the last minute to apply, as delays can always occur. We do not offer this option, which does not include our verification of travellers' documents.

Differences between e-Visa and ordinary visa

It is important to know the differences between obtaining an e-Visa and an ordinary visa for Azerbaijan.

  • e-Visa: This is an electronic visa that you can obtain online. The application process is generally quicker and simpler than the ordinary visa. What's more, there's no need to physically visit an embassy or consulate to submit your application.
  • Ordinary Visa: To obtain an ordinary visa, you usually need to visit an Azerbaijani embassy or consulate and provide several documents in person. The application process can be longer and more complex than for an e-Visa. In addition, the cost of an ordinary visa may be higher than that of an e-Visa.

Tips for obtaining your Azerbaijan e-Visa more quickly

  • Submit your application early: It is advisable to start the e-Visa application process several weeks before your planned departure date. This will give you enough time to gather all the necessary documents and deal with any delays.
  • Check the information provided: Make sure that all the information you provide in your application is correct and up to date. Errors can lead to delays in processing your application or even a visa refusal.
  • Prepare all the required documents: Before submitting your application, make sure you have gathered all the necessary documents, such as your passport, a passport photo and any supporting documents. This will enable you to complete your application more quickly and avoid delays due to missing documents.
