Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Apply for an Azerbaijan eVisa at evisa.gov.az. The standard processing takes 3 working days (€25 fee) or you can pay €55 for urgent 3-hour processing. Print the approved eVisa and carry it with your passport — border officers scan the QR code on arrival.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Singapore passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended departure date from Azerbaijan. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Heydar Aliyev Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel booking confirmations or a letter of invitation from a host in Azerbaijan satisfy this requirement. Officers rarely check, but having a printed copy avoids delays if asked. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry at least 200 AZN (approximately 120 USD) per day in cash or show a bank statement. ATMs are available at the airport, but having cash on hand speeds up the immigration process. | Recommended |
Registration after 15 days
If you plan to stay in Azerbaijan for more than 15 days, you must register with the State Migration Service. Hotels do this for you, but if you're in private accommodation, you need to register yourself online or at a migration office. Failure to register can lead to fines.
Overstaying is costly
The visa-free stay is strictly 90 days. Overstaying even by a day can result in a fine (around 300–400 AZN) and a possible entry ban. Keep track of your entry stamp date and set a reminder to leave on time.
What happens at the border

Arrive at the airport
Fly into Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) in Baku. Follow the signs to 'Foreign Passports' or 'All Passports' immigration queues.

Present your passport
Hand your passport to the border officer. They will check your details and may ask simple questions about your trip (purpose, length of stay, where you're staying). Answer clearly.

Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with your entry date. This stamp shows how long you're allowed to stay (up to 90 days). Keep your passport safe – you'll need it when you leave.

Frequently asked questions
Singapore passport holders can stay up to 90 days within a 180-day period. The exact allowed stay is stamped on your passport at entry. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave and re-enter or apply for a different type of permit – but for most trips, 90 days is plenty.
If you stay more than 15 days, you are required to register with the State Migration Service. Hotels usually do this for you automatically. If you're staying in private accommodation, you must register yourself within 15 days of arrival. You can do this online at migration.gov.az or at a local migration office.
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave Azerbaijan before your 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines and possible entry bans, so keep track of your dates.
You would need to leave Azerbaijan and re-enter to get a fresh 90-day period, but note that the 180-day rule applies – you can't just pop out and come back indefinitely. For longer stays, you'd need to apply for a residence permit or a different visa category at an Azerbaijani embassy before you travel.
No, you don't need a visa at all, so there's no need to apply for an eVisa. Just show your passport at the border. If you were from a country that requires a visa, you'd use the official eVisa portal, but as a Singapore passport holder, you're exempt.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of arrival in Azerbaijan. It also needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. If your passport is due to expire soon, renew it before you travel.
As of 2026, there are no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirements for entry into Azerbaijan. However, it's always wise to check the latest health advisories before you travel, as requirements can change quickly.
