Azerbaijan Visa for Indians
The ASAN e-visa that gets Indian passports into Azerbaijan - USD 25 all-in, 30 days single entry, three working days, applied only on the official evisa.gov.az portal.
Indian passport holders need an e-visa before travelling to Azerbaijan - there is no visa on arrival for Indians. The ASAN Visa system issues it entirely online at evisa.gov.az for USD 25 all-in (USD 20 state fee plus USD 5 service), single entry, stays up to 30 days. Standard processing takes 3 working days; an urgent tier at USD 60 issues in about 3 hours. The e-visa is valid for 90 days from issue, so you must enter within that window, and your passport should be valid at least 3 months beyond the visa. Apply on the official portal only - lookalike sites charge far more for the same document.
Baku's weekend-trip boom has made the Azerbaijan e-visa one of the most-applied-for documents on Indian passports, and it stays refreshingly simple: one official portal, USD 25, three working days, done. No embassy, no biometrics, no interview.
The one real hazard is not the visa - it is the copycat websites. A cluster of lookalike domains sells the same e-visa at inflated prices. The official ASAN Visa portal is evisa.gov.az, and everything on this page assumes you apply there.

How to apply, step by step
- Go to evisa.gov.az - the official ASAN Visa portal. Treat any other "Azerbaijan e-visa" domain as a reseller charging a markup.
- Fill the short form - passport details, travel dates, contact information. No documents beyond the passport data page are normally needed.
- Pay USD 25 by card (or USD 60 for the urgent service).
- Receive the e-visa PDF by email - in 3 working days standard, about 3 hours urgent.
- Print it and carry it with your passport; airlines check it at check-in and immigration matches it on arrival.
- Enter within 90 days of issue - and plan the stay within 30 days; overstays are fined at departure.
Documents you need
- Passport valid at least 3 months beyond the e-visa validity, with blank pages
- The e-visa PDF, printed or on your phone
- Confirmed return or onward ticket within 30 days
- Proof of accommodation for the first nights
- Funds for the trip (rarely checked, worth having)
The short version
Azerbaijan for Indians in one line: a USD 25 e-visa from the official ASAN portal, three working days, 30 days single entry - the whole thing is a form and a card payment. The only mistake worth warning about is paying a lookalike site double for the same PDF. Verify current terms on evisa.gov.az before you book, and plan the Baku-and-beyond itinerary in Tripmojo.
