Our guide to the Azerbaijan visa from the United States
U.S. passport holders need a visa for Azerbaijan and can obtain it online through the country's official e-Visa (ASAN Visa) system before travelling. There is no visa-free entry for tourism.

The e-Visa is issued electronically and linked to your passport. Confirm the current fee, validity, and any entry conditions on the official Azerbaijani source before booking.

Where do you apply for a visa for Azerbaijan from the United States?
An e-visa for Azerbaijan is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.

Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in the United States on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in the United States but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing and tips
Standard e-Visa processing usually takes a few business days, with faster options sometimes available, but times are not guaranteed, so apply ahead of departure. Enter your name and passport number exactly as they appear in your passport, since the e-Visa is checked against it on arrival. Verify the visa's validity and permitted length of stay before you fly.
Before you fly, and at the border
Passport validity, border checks, minors, overstays: the rules common to every trip are gathered on our travel tips page. Formalities before you leave
Common mistakes
Common errors include using unofficial visa websites, mistyping the passport number, and applying at the last minute. Make sure your passport does not expire within the required window and that your photo meets the stated format. If your travel dates change significantly, check whether your e-Visa remains valid for the new plan.
