eVisa is the only option for tourism
Jordanian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival for Azerbaijan. You must apply for the eVisa before you travel. The official website is evisa.gov.az — avoid third-party sites that charge extra.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Azerbaijan, not from your departure date. Double-check before applying.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to evisa.gov.az, fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport-style photo, and pay the fee. Processing usually takes 3 business days, but can be as fast as 3 hours if you pay the urgent fee.
2
Receive your eVisa by email
Once approved, you'll get a PDF eVisa via email. Print a copy and also save it on your phone. The visa is electronically linked to your passport, but having a physical copy avoids any issues.

Arrive at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) in Baku
At immigration, present your passport and the printed eVisa (or show it on your phone). The officer will scan your passport and stamp you in. The process usually takes 2-5 minutes.

Collect your luggage and exit
After clearing immigration, pick up your bags from the carousel and proceed through customs. There's a green channel for nothing to declare and a red channel for goods over the duty-free limit.
