Overview

Pakistani citizens travelling to Azerbaijan generally require appropriate visa authorization before arrival. Azerbaijan provides an online ASAN e-Visa system for eligible travellers, while longer-term purposes such as study, employment and residence may require additional procedures through the relevant Azerbaijani authorities.

The Azerbaijan ASAN e-Visa system allows eligible travellers to apply online without necessarily visiting an embassy. Once an application is approved, the electronic visa is sent to the applicant by email. Travellers should print the approved e-Visa and carry it with their passport.

Good News: The ASAN e-Visa can provide a convenient online option for eligible travellers visiting Azerbaijan for tourism and permitted short-term business activities.
