Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit AZ?

Finnish passport holders need an e-visa (ASAN Visa) to visit Azerbaijan for tourism. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival channel. Apply online at evisa.gov.az before travel: the standard e-visa costs 25 USD and is issued within 3 working days, granting a single entry and a stay of up to 30 days. Azerbaijan is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Finland is one of the countries eligible for Azerbaijan's official ASAN electronic visa system. As of 2026-05-30, Finnish citizens cannot enter Azerbaijan visa-free and there is no visa-on-arrival for them; the correct and only practical channel for a short tourist stay is the e-visa obtained in advance through the official portal evisa.gov.az. The standard e-visa costs 25 USD (inclusive of a 5 USD service fee) and is processed within up to 3 working days; an urgent option costs 60 USD and is processed within 3 hours. The e-visa is single entry, permits a stay of up to 30 days, and must be used within 90 days of issuance. The passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the e-visa's expiry, and the printed e-visa must be presented with the passport at the border. Travelers staying longer than 15 days must register with the State Migration Service (no fee). Azerbaijan tightened application scrutiny in 2025, so details such as name spelling and travel dates must exactly match the passport to avoid refusal.
