Azerbaijan is an increasingly popular destination for travellers from all over the world. Whether for tourism, business or family reasons, certain conditions must be met and various documents presented in order to obtain a visa to enter Azerbaijan.
Valid passport and photocopy
The first document required to apply for a visa for Azerbaijan is a valid passport. It must have an expiry date of more than 3 months after the planned end of your stay in Azerbaijan. So remember to check the expiry date of your passport before starting the visa process.
In addition to the passport itself, a photocopy of the page containing personal information must be attached to the visa application file. This photocopy must be clear and legible to make it easier to process your application.
Visa application form
The visa application form is an essential document for obtaining a visa for Azerbaijan. It must be completed carefully and accurately, as the information provided will be used to determine whether or not your application is accepted.
- Personal details: This section of the form asks for general information about the applicant, such as name, date of birth, address and contact details.
- Travel information : Here you will be asked to provide details of your stay in Azerbaijan, including the planned dates of entry and exit, the purpose of the trip (tourism, business, family, etc.) and the places you intend to visit.
- Passport information : This section concerns the details of your passport, such as the number, date of issue and expiry date.
- Additional documents : Depending on the type of visa requested, certain specific documents may be required. For example, a letter of invitation from a person or company resident in Azerbaijan may be required for a business or family visa.
Make sure you complete all sections of the form carefully and provide accurate information to avoid any delay or refusal of your application.
Recent photograph to standard
A standard recent photograph is also required for an Azerbaijan visa application. The photo must be taken within the 6 months preceding the application and meet the following criteria:
- Format: 35×45 mm
- Background: plain white
- Expression: neutral, mouth closed and gaze facing the camera
- Glasses: tolerated as long as they don't cover the eyes
- Headdress: forbidden except for religious reasons
It is essential that the photo meets these standards to ensure clear identification and make it easier to process your request.
Medical certificate and insurance certificate
Depending on the length and purpose of your stay in Azerbaijan, it may be necessary to provide a medical certificate attesting that you are in good health and fit to travel. This certificate must be issued by an approved doctor and dated less than 3 months before the date of submission of the visa application.
In addition, a travel insurance certificate covering the entire duration of the stay in Azerbaijan is generally required. This insurance must cover medical, hospital and repatriation costs in the event of accident or illness during the trip.
Apostille and legalisation of documents
In some cases, it may be necessary to have a apostille affixed to certain official documents (for example, the marriage certificate) or to legalise them with the relevant Azerbaijani consulate. This step certifies the authenticity and validity of the documents used for the visa application.
Visa fees
Finally, you must pay the consular fees when the application is submitted 25,00 €
