Azerbaijan visa requirements by nationality
Whether you need a visa for Azerbaijan depends on the passport you hold. Of the 15 most-checked passports, 2 enter visa-free and 13 need to apply for something in advance. Visa-free stays run to 30 days or 90 days depending on nationality. Find your passport in the table below for the exact rule, the stay length, the passport validity required, and any arrival registration you have to complete separately.

What to do next
The part most visa checkers leave out: what actually needs doing before you fly.
Confirm with the official source
Rules change without notice, and only the immigration authority of Azerbaijan can tell you where you stand. Search for its official site before you travel.
Check your passport
Passport validity required: 4 months longer than the duration of stay. Renew first if you are close, because this is the most common reason travellers are turned away.
Check the rule for your own passport
What Azerbaijan asks for depends on the passport you travel on, and the table above differs from row to row. Open your nationality for the stay length, the validity required and whether anything has to be applied for.
