Read moreLast updated 17 August 2010 To obtain tourist visa to Azerbaijan you will need an official Letter of Invitation (LOI) from travel agency licensed by Azerbaijan Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Visa support letter has to be on a headed paper, duly stamped and signed. Invitation letter has to be submitted to Azeri embassy abroad along with application form, two passport-size (3x4 cm) photos and original passport/travel document (must be valid for at least 6 months after the expiry date of the Azerbaijani visa applied for). It will allow applicant to obtain single or double entry tourist visa that is valid for three months and authorizes to enter and stay in Azerbaijan for up to 30 days Asian nationals (India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, UAE, S. Arabia, Philippines, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc.) have to get in touch with the Azeri embassy first to check regulations. Bear in mind that our travel agency issues LOIs without authorisation from Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For Western world nationals these LOIs are fine. However, some embassies might insist on having separate authorisation from MFA for LOIs for those Asian & African nationals. Please check with the embassy first. If you plan to obtain your visa upon arrival in the airport a letter of invitation (LOI) from Azeri travel agency WILL NOT be required. However, if you enter Azerbaijan not through Baku airport but overland or sea port - then you need to secure your visa in advance and for this you would need visa support from travel agency. Baku Travel Services is a travel agency licensed by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Azerbaijan and is authorised to provide traveler with visa support documents. Should you need a letter of invitation for Azerbaijan tourist visa contact us for arrangements. We are working every day and aim to process all requests and send LOIs within 24 hours.

For payment details please press here Based on the information received we will issue a Letter of Invitation and send to your email within 24 hours. You will need to print off the documents that we will send you and enclose with application form that you will submit to the embassy. NOTE! 1. Embassy in London, UK processes around 15 applications a day, so try not to leave your visa arrangements until the last moment. They process vouchers without any problem Comments from our customer: We have now obtained our visas from the embassy in Vienna. It was a bit of a struggle, e.g. they first wanted to see residence permits, which we as EU citizens resident in Austria since 2002 do not need (I had to produce a print out from the official authorities to convince the embassy staff of this), then they tried to charge the full 60 Euros each. I persisted pointing towards the small print at the bottom of the voucher you sent us - and luckily at that moment a suited superior walked in and OK-ed the lower fee with a nod. So all's well that ends well. I'm only telling you this so that maybe on your website you can amend your comments about the various embassies' behaviour towards visa applications ... the Vienna embassy is certainly a hard nut to crack. 4. Embassy in Beijing (China) - unexplainably hard case... Highly recommended to apply for visa in some other embassy. Document list, terms & dates of visa preparation & consular fees may be changed according to the regulations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Baku Travel Services does not carry responsibility for the non-implementation or timeliness of visa processing by consular sections of Azeri embassies abroad, nor is Baku Travel Services responsible for visa rejection.

The most common type is tourist visa available on single or double entry basis only. This type of visa is valid for three months and authorizes to enter and stay in Azerbaijan for up to 30 days. Visa should be obtained in advance in one of Azeri embassies abroad. Citizens of Europe, America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand can obtain single entry tourist visa upon arrival at Heydar Aliyev International Airport, Ganja International Airport or Nakhichevan International Airport. There are Consulate sections in these airports that issue visas to those nationals. Citizens of other countries need to obtain visa in one of the Azeri diplomatic missions abroad before traveling to Azerbaijan. For getting an Azerbaijan visa you will need to get an official letter of invitation (stamped and signed) from licensed Azeri travel agency. This invitation along with the application form, two passport size (3x4 cm) photos and an original of your passport/travel document (must be valid for at least 6 months after the expiry date of the Azerbaijani visa applied for) are sufficient to obtain visa in Azerbaijan Consulate abroad. For visas that are to be obtained in airport upon arrival letter of invitation (LOI) from Azeri travel agency is not required.

Letter of invitation from a receiving party (potential employer, business partner or university) should be authorized by Consular Department of the MFA that will fax approval letter directly to the embassy where you plan to obtain your visa.
