Processing takes up to 3 business days. Apply at least a week before your trip to be safe. The official site is evisa.gov.az.
No. The eVisa is valid for a maximum stay of 30 days and cannot be extended. If you need to stay longer, you must leave and re-enter with a new visa.
Printing is safer. While some officers accept a digital copy on your phone, a printed copy avoids any issues with phone battery or screen glare.
You must renew your passport before applying for the eVisa. The 6-month validity is calculated from your entry date, not your departure.
Yes, the eVisa is valid for entry at all international border crossings, including land borders from Georgia, Russia, and Iran.
No, it's not required for entry. But it's strongly recommended because medical costs in Azerbaijan can be high and your Slovak health insurance may not cover you abroad.
Overstaying can result in a fine (around 300 AZN) and possible deportation. Always leave before your 30 days are up.
