The ASAN portal currently lists a USD 20 state fee plus a USD 9 service fee (USD 29 total) for a standard eVisa.

Check the amount on the ASAN payment screen before paying; the urgent-service total is not confirmed here.

Up to 3 working days
Standard service. The portal separately offers urgent processing within three hours, including non-working days.
A processing estimate is not a guaranteed travel date.
90 days

Entry conditions and exceptions
Check whether these rules affect your eligibility, application, or arrival.
Check the route before booking
Land entry generally requires permission from Azerbaijan’s Operational Headquarters. The Georgia rail exception applies only to travelers who have a visa-free right to enter Azerbaijan. If you need a visa, plan to enter by air unless you have separate authorization; land exit is allowed without the entry permission.

Arrange registration for a longer visit
For stays longer than 15 days, register your address within 15 days of arrival. Registration is free; prepare the form and passport, visa and entry-page copies. Ask your accommodation to help.
