eVisa is single entry only
The eVisa allows one entry. If you leave Azerbaijan (even for a day trip to Georgia), you'll need a new visa to re-enter.
Passport validity counts from entry, not departure
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the day you land in Azerbaijan. If it expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding or entry.
