United States to Azerbaijan visa requirements

US passport holders need a visa for Azerbaijan and can obtain it online via the official ASAN e-Visa system before travel. The standard e-Visa costs 25 USD and is issued within 3 working days; it allows a single entry and a stay of up to 30 days, valid for 90 days from issuance. A United States ordinary passport holder traveling to Azerbaijan for tourism requires a visa. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel; instead, Azerbaijan offers a fully online electronic visa (the ASAN Visa) through the official government portal evisa.gov.az. As of mid-2026, the standard ASAN e-Visa costs 25 USD (inclusive of a 5 USD service fee) and is processed within 3 working days, while an urgent option costs 60 USD and is issued within 3 hours. The e-Visa is a single-entry document valid for 90 days from the date of issue and permits a stay of up to 30 days. Applicants need a passport valid for at least 3-6 months and a digital passport photo/scan. The e-Visa must be printed and presented with the passport at a border checkpoint; entry is via international flights as land borders have remained restricted to regular passenger traffic. Travelers staying longer than 15 days must register with the State Migration Service within 15 calendar days of arrival. The US State Department confirms a visa is mandatory and that the ASAN e-Visa is the standard route for tourists. Travelers with Armenian surnames or prior Nagorno-Karabakh entry stamps may face additional scrutiny.
