A Complete Guide to the Azerbaijan eVisa for Citizens of Andorra

Planning a trip from the Pyrenees to the Caucasus? If you hold an Andorran passport, visiting the "Land of Fire" has become significantly easier thanks to the electronic visa system. Whether you are heading to Baku for the Formula 1 Grand Prix, exploring the ancient streets of Icherisheher, or hiking in the Gabala mountains, this guide covers every detail you need about Azerbaijan eVisa for Andorra.

Do Andorran citizens need a visa for Azerbaijan?

Yes, citizens of Andorra are required to have a valid visa to enter the Republic of Azerbaijan. However, you do not need to visit an embassy or endure long interviews. Andorrans are eligible for the ASAN Visa (eVisa), which is a fully digital travel authorization. This system was introduced to simplify travel for citizens of eligible countries, including Andorra.

Can I get a visa on arrival in Azerbaijan?

Technically, yes, but it is highly restricted. Visa on Arrival is generally available only at international airports and mostly for citizens of specific Gulf countries or those with a residency permit from UAE/Qatar. For Andorran citizens, relying on a "Visa on Arrival" is risky and often not applicable unless under very specific diplomatic protocols.

Pro Tip: Do not risk your trip. Apply for the eVisa before you fly. Airlines may deny you boarding if you cannot prove you have a valid visa.

Why Should I Pay an Extra Service Fee?

While the official ASAN Visa site is the cheapest option, the service fee charged by private agencies covers essential services designed to ensure a successful application:

1. Reduced Rejection Risk: The mandatory pre-check of your documents and data significantly reduces the chances of rejection due to simple mistakes like an expired passport, a blurry photo, or incorrect entry of details.
2. Simplified Interface: Private application forms are often more streamlined and intuitive than official government portals, especially for applicants who find official sites confusing or difficult to navigate.
3. Peace of Mind: You have a dedicated support team available around the clock to assist you with any questions or issues, from initial document requirements to final visa delivery, providing a safety net against costly mistakes.

How much does the Azerbaijan eVisa cost for Andorrans?

The total cost of your Azerbaijan eVisa is a combination of two parts: a mandatory Government Fee paid to the Republic of Azerbaijan and a Service Fee for the secure handling, review, and support of your application.

The final price depends on how quickly you need your visa. The prices are displayed in USD for clarity, but the actual charge on your statement may appear in your local currency depending on your bank.

What are the documents required for the application?

The paperwork is minimal. You do not need physical photos or invitation letters for a standard Azerbaijan tourist eVisa. You will need:

1. Valid Passport: Your Andorran passport must be valid for at least 3 months after your eVisa expires. (We strongly recommend having at least 6 months of validity to avoid any hassles).
2. Digital Passport Copy: A clear scan or photo of the biographical page of your passport.
3. Email Address: Where your visa will be delivered.
4. Payment Method: A credit or debit card (Visa, MasterCard) to pay the fee.

How long is the Azerbaijan eVisa valid for?

The visa is valid for a total of 90 days from the issue date. However, this does not mean you can stay for 3 months.

• Validity Period: 90 days (The window during which you can enter).
• Duration of Stay: Maximum 30 days per visit.
• Entry Type: Single Entry. If you leave Azerbaijan, you must apply for a new visa to re-enter.

What is the processing time for the eVisa?

You have three options to choose from, depending on your travel plans and urgency:

1. Standard: Processed within 3 - 5 Days. This option is suitable for travelers who plan ahead.
2. Rush: Processed within 12 - 24 Hours. This is useful if your departure date is near.
3. Super Rush: Processed within 4 - 6 Hours. This option is intended for urgent, last-minute travel needs.

Recommendation: To avoid any stress, we always recommend applying at least a week before your flight, choosing the Standard option.

Which Azerbaijan eVisa Application Route is Best?

Applying for the Azerbaijan eVisa can be done directly through the official "ASAN Visa" portal (Government Site) or through a private visa assistance agency like azerbaijan-evisa.info. The choice depends on whether a traveler prioritizes the lowest cost or professional assistance and error prevention.

Do I need to register with the State Migration Service?

This is a critical rule many travelers miss. If you plan to stay in Azerbaijan for more than 15 days, you must register your place of residence with the State Migration Service.

• How to do it: Your hotel or host usually handles this for you, but you should double-check with them.
• Cost: Registration is free.
• Penalty: If you fail to register and stay over 15 days, you will face a hefty fine at the airport upon departure.

Are land borders open for tourists in 2025?

No. As of late 2025, Azerbaijan’s land borders with Georgia, Russia, Iran, and Turkey remain closed to travelers entering the country.

• Entry: You must enter via air (flying into Baku, Ganja, or Nakhchivan).
• Exit: You are generally allowed to leave Azerbaijan via land borders (e.g., crossing into Georgia), but you cannot enter Azerbaijan by land.
• Status: The special quarantine regime keeping land borders closed has been extended until at least January 1, 2026. Always check the latest news before planning an overland trip.

Is travel insurance mandatory for Azerbaijan?

Travel insurance is not strictly mandatory for the eVisa application itself (you don't need to upload a policy). However, it is highly recommended. Medical care for foreigners can be expensive, and having coverage for medical evacuation or lost luggage is a smart safety net.

What is the best time to visit Azerbaijan?

• Spring (April - June): Perfect weather, green landscapes, and the Novruz holiday festivities.
• Autumn (September - October): Pleasant temperatures, great for walking around Baku or hiking in the regions.
• Summer (July - August): Can be very hot and humid in Baku, but great for mountain resorts like Shahdag.

Is it safe for Andorran citizens to visit?

Yes, Azerbaijan is generally very safe for tourists. Baku is a modern, well-policed city with low violent crime rates.

• Safety Tips: Exercise standard caution with personal belongings in crowded areas.
• Regional Risks: Avoid the border areas near Armenia due to unresolved military tensions and landmines in conflict zones. Stick to the main tourist routes, and you will be fine.

Why was my Azerbaijan eVisa rejected?

Rejections are rare but usually happen due to:

• Typos: Mismatch between the passport number on the form and the scan.
• Poor Quality Scan: The passport image was blurry or glared.
• Passport Validity: The passport expires in less than 3 months.
• Conflict of Interest: If you have visited Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) illegally (without Azerbaijani permission) in the past, you may be denied entry and blacklisted.
