Visa application process

Australian passport holders do need a visa to enter Azerbaijan. The visa application process is outlined below.

Firstly, it is important to note that there are different types of Azerbaijan visas available to Australian citizens. These include tourist and business visas, which can be applied for as an electronic visa (e-visa). The e-visa is available as a standard or urgent visa. The standard visa offers a response within three days, while the urgent visa is confirmed in three hours. Both visas are valid for 90 days and allow for a stay of 30 days in Azerbaijan. The urgent visa is more expensive than the standard visa.

To apply for the Azerbaijan e-visa, you must meet the following requirements:

• Provide an arrival date in Azerbaijan that is at least three business days after submitting the application.
• Provide a valid email address for notifications.
• Provide a digital copy of your passport.
• Provide proof of vaccination.
• Provide an active debit or credit card to pay the visa fees.

The application process involves visiting the VisaHQ website and setting your citizenship as "Australia" and your destination as "Azerbaijan". You will then be able to fill out the Azerbaijan e-visa online form, which requires the following information:

• Contact details.
• Valid Australian passport number.
• Purpose of stay in Azerbaijan.
• Intended dates of entry and exit.
• Travel documents.

After submitting the form, you will need to send some additional documents to the embassy in Australia, including passport-sized photographs and other supporting documents. You will then need to pay the visa fees and wait for your approved visa to be sent to your email address.

Visa fees

Australian citizens require a visa to enter Azerbaijan. The good news is that they can apply for a new electronic visa, known as an ASAN visa, which is available online. The visa is valid for 30 days and allows for a single entry into Azerbaijan within a 90-day validity period.

The cost of the Azerbaijan e-visa for Australian citizens includes government fees of $26 for a standard visa and $61 for an urgent or super-fast visa, with an additional non-refundable application fee. The standard visa is processed within 3 to 5 working days, while the urgent and super-fast visas are processed within 24 hours and 3 to 5 hours, respectively.

The urgent and standard visas have the same non-refundable application fee, and the cost is the same for all nationalities. The fees must be paid using a valid debit or credit card. It is important to note that the fees are subject to change, and applicants should refer to the official sources for the most up-to-date information.
