Frequently asked questions

Do UAE citizens need a visa for Azerbaijan?

No. UAE passports enter visa-free for stays of up to 90 days as of 2026, and Russian passports have the same right under a bilateral regime. Carry a valid passport and keep your return booking handy.

I live in Dubai on an Indian or Filipino passport — what do I need?

An ASAN e-visa from evisa.gov.az: one form, USD 25 plus a service charge, decision in about three working days. It allows a single entry and a stay of up to 30 days within 90 days of issue.

Can I get an e-visa urgently?

Yes. ASAN offers an expedited option issued within about 3 hours for a higher fee — useful for last-minute trips, though the standard track is cheap enough that planning ahead is easy.

Do I need registration in Azerbaijan?

Hotels register guests automatically. In private flats, stays beyond roughly 10 days must be registered with the State Migration Service, usually by the host. Keep the confirmation until departure.
