Azerbaijan Visa and Travel News
Just days before the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix and one month ahead of the FIFA U-15 World Cup & Festival 2026, Azerbaijan is temporarily relaxing its visa procedures. Depending on the event and subject to certain conditions, eligible travelers can obtain a visa upon arrival at the country’s international airports.
Azerbaijan plans to expand visa-free access to more countries over the coming years. Its new tourism development program aims to bring 34 target markets under a visa-free regime. Baku also intends to develop a multiple-entry e-Visa, expand access to electronic visas and visas on arrival, and eventually introduce a visa for digital nomads.
The Azerbaijani government, through a decree signed by Prime Minister Ali Asadov, has decided to maintain the special quarantine regime related to the COVID-19 pandemic until January 1, 2026. This measure effectively extends the closure of the country’s land borders, which have been in place since 2020.
Azerbaijan is making it easier for international visitors to attend the 2025 Formula 1 Grand Prix in Baku by simplifying its visa process.
Azerbaijan has just removed a requirement for foreigners wishing to obtain an electronic visa (e-Visa).
