About This Visa

Recommended route for Indian ordinary-passport holders. Apply only on the official portal https://evisa.gov.az — not through agencies or lookalike sites.

The e-Visa is single entry. It is valid for 90 days and allows a stay of up to 30 days. It is not stamped in the passport: print the A4 copy and carry it with the same passport used in the application.

The Embassy in New Delhi does not issue, change, or confirm e-Visas. Questions go to https://evisa.gov.az/az/contact or info@evisa.gov.az.

The state fee for reviewing the application is USD 20 and is non-refundable. Official portal pages disagree on the extra service fee (USD 5 or USD 9). Pay only the amount shown on the official portal checkout (Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay; some pages also list JCB). The card need not be in the traveller’s name.

Documents Required

  • Ordinary Indian passport (or the travel document that will be used at the border)
  • Passport validity must be at least 3 months after the e-Visa expiry date
  • Clear scan of the passport bio page (details must match the form exactly)
  • Email address for the decision and download link
  • Internationally enabled Visa / Mastercard / UnionPay card
  • Printed e-Visa (A4) to show with the passport at the border

Apply as an individual, a family (2–10 people), or a group (10–300). Dual nationals must choose the nationality of the passport they will travel on. A mismatch makes the e-Visa invalid.

Processing time

5 to 10 working days after submission at the Embassy in New Delhi.

Stay period

Tourism: up to 30 days. Business / official events: up to 180 days. Private, education, employment, medical, humanitarian: up to 90 days. Culture / sports: up to 60 days.

Validity

Single entry up to 90 days. Multiple entry up to 2 years (MFA).

About This Visa

Use this when the traveller cannot or should not use ASAN e-Visa (work, study, longer stay, or a mission visa is required).

Ordinary visas cover business, science and education, labour, tourism, culture and sport, humanitarian, personal travel, and medical treatment.

Apply only through the MFA visa portal https://visaapplication.mfa.gov.az then book https://appointment.mfa.gov.az and submit in person at the Embassy in New Delhi. That portal is not for e-Visa.

The Embassy has no other office or agent in India. Documents are not accepted by post or courier. State fee is not refunded if the visa is refused. Cash is not accepted.

Documents Required

  • Application form from https://visaapplication.mfa.gov.az (print and bring)
  • Passport and copies of the main pages — validity at least 3 months beyond the visa; at least one unused page
  • Two colour photos 3×4 cm, biometric standard
  • Medical insurance copy (if the host does not cover treatment)
  • State-fee payment receipt (pay as the Embassy instructs)
  • Travel ticket copy
  • Invitation / host application — required for business and similar purposes; not required for transit, tourism, official, or personal travel

Minors travelling without a parent or legal guardian also need a notarised birth-certificate copy, parental permission, and ID copies of the parents / guardian.

  • Two 3×4 cm colour photos
  • Proof of onward travel / third-country visa if required

Registration

If staying more than 10 days, register with the State Migration Service (online at https://www.migration.gov.az or a regional office). The e-Visa FAQ uses 10 days. MFA general visa text still says 15 days. Follow migration.gov.az.

To stay longer than the visa allows, apply to the State Migration Service — do not overstay.
