Azerbaijan Visa FAQ

  1. When is the best time to apply for my Azerbaijan visa?

    The best time to apply for your Azerbaijan visa is 1-2 months before your travel date. However, if you are running short on time, we may be able to process your visa on a faster service at the Embassy’s discretion.

  2. Do I have to send you my passport to get a Azerbaijan visa? Is it safe to send a passport?

    Yes. You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Azerbaijan visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages. Visa request cannot be processed without your original passport.
