Azerbaijan visa
BakuAzerbaijan issues its e-Visa through the ASAN system: single entry for up to 30 days, multiple entry for up to 90, normally within three working days, with an urgent service that turns it round in about three hours including weekends and holidays. That urgent option makes Baku one of the few destinations you can genuinely decide on at short notice, which is why it works so well as a long-weekend trip from Dubai. We handle the application and tell you honestly whether you need to pay for the urgent tier or not.
