Azerbaijan Visa for UK Citizens

Travelers from the UK can apply for an ASAN visa – it is an electronic visa designed for short-term stays introduced in 2017 by the Azerbaijani government. An Azerbaijan e-Visa is valid for 90 days and allows you to stay in the country for 30 days.

The e-Visa system was launched in order to make the process of applying for a visa easier and smoother. You just need to have a valid passport, an electronic device with an internet connection, and access to the payment method.

An approved electronic visa can be used for purposes such as tourism, family/friends visits, attending events (sports, culture, science), business meetings, medical treatments, official trips, humanitarian reasons, labor (not paid), education, and transit.
