Azerbaijan Visa from Pakistan: Step-by-Step E-Visa Guide (2026)

Elijah Tours Team July 1, 2026 9 min read

If you hold a Pakistani passport and are planning a trip to Baku, the good news is you don't need to visit an embassy. Azerbaijan's ASAN e-visa is processed entirely online, and this guide walks you through every step — from the documents you need to the exact fees and timelines — so your application is approved the first time.

Do Pakistani citizens need a visa for Azerbaijan?

Yes. Pakistani passport holders require a visa to enter Azerbaijan, but there is no need for an in-person embassy appointment. The ASAN e-visa is an electronic visa applied for and issued fully online through the official evisa.gov.az portal.

The standard e-visa is a single-entry visa valid for 90 days from the date of issue and permits a stay of up to 30 days — ideal for tourism, family visits, and short holidays in Baku, Gabala, and Shahdag.

Documents required for a Pakistani passport

Prepare these before you start: a passport valid for at least six months beyond your travel date, a clear scan of the passport bio page, and a recent passport-size photograph with a white background.

You will also want a confirmed hotel booking, a return or onward flight reservation, and proof of sufficient funds. These are the same documents immigration may ask to see on arrival, so keep printed copies with you.

When you book a package with Elijah Tours, we prepare and review all of these documents for you to minimise the chance of rejection — the most common cause of refusals is a name or passport-number mismatch on the application form.

Step-by-step: applying for the ASAN e-visa

1. Go to the official ASAN Visa portal (evisa.gov.az) and select Pakistan as your country of citizenship.

2. Choose your visa type — standard (processed in 3 working days) or urgent (processed within a few hours).

3. Fill in your personal and passport details exactly as they appear on your passport, then upload your photo and passport scan.

4. Pay the visa fee online with a debit or credit card, and download the confirmation.

5. Receive your approved e-visa by email as a PDF. Print it and carry it alongside your passport when you travel.

Current fees and processing times

The standard e-visa fee is a state fee of around USD 20 plus a small service charge, with processing typically completed in 3 working days.

The urgent e-visa carries a higher fee (around USD 50 total) and is usually issued within a few hours. Fees are set by the Azerbaijani government and can change, so confirm the current amount on the official portal before paying.

We recommend applying at least one week before your departure to allow a buffer for any corrections.

Common reasons for rejection (and how to avoid them)

Most refusals come from simple errors: a passport that expires too soon, a photo that doesn't meet the specification, or details that don't match the passport exactly.

Double-check every field against your passport, use a compliant photo, and make sure your passport has at least six months of validity. If you'd rather not risk it, let our team handle the full application for you.
