Do you need a visa?
Yes. Azerbaijani passport holders must obtain a tourist visa before arriving in Afghanistan. An e-visa may be offered depending on the official source; where it is not, the visa is issued only through consular channels.
How and where to apply
First check on the official Afghan e-visa portal whether Azerbaijani nationals are eligible; if so, apply online and follow the payment and document instructions. If not, apply at the Afghan mission responsible for Azerbaijan (the embassy in Baku if operating, or the nearest accredited mission).
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a photo in the required format, a completed application form and often proof of accommodation or an invitation. The exact fee and document list are not confirmed for this route: check them on the e-visa portal or with Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs before paying.
Processing and tips
Whether online or at the consulate, processing time is not guaranteed, so start several weeks ahead. A yellow-fever certificate may be required depending on your itinerary, and Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs may issue security guidance on Afghanistan to review before booking.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not buy firm tickets before the visa is granted, and do not assume a visa on arrival exists. Use only the official Afghan portal: intermediary sites charging extra fees are not the official source and often show outdated information.
