Azerbaijan Visa Fees for Indians (2026): e-Visa, Embassy and Transit

These amounts are as published on the official sources, checked on 2026-10-15. Azerbaijan publishes every visa fee in US dollars and no official INR figure exists, so the rupee cost depends on the rate your card or bank applies. For the wider picture, including documents and routes, see our Azerbaijan visa guide for Indian travellers.

What does each Azerbaijan visa cost an Indian in 2026?

Under MFA rules, an Embassy visa is processed no later than fifteen days, or two working days in urgent cases. The Embassy's own guide says generally 5 to 10 working days.

Is the USD 9 ASAN service fee charged on top?

Yes. The ASAN Visa portal charges a USD 9 service fee per application in addition to the USD 20 state fee for a standard e-visa. You pay online by Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay or JCB card. The e-visa is not attached to your passport: you print it and show it with the passport at the border.

The State Agency for Service to Citizens and Social Innovation runs ASAN Visa at evisa.gov.az. The Embassy in New Delhi cannot issue or change an e-visa, so check every detail before you pay.

When is the USD 350 Embassy visa worth paying for?

The e-visa suits a single trip of up to 30 days. An Embassy visa makes sense when that does not fit your plans:

• Repeat travel: the multiple entry visa costs USD 350 and can be valid for up to 2 years.
• Longer single stays: a single entry Embassy visa (USD 20) can be valid for up to 90 days.
• Study: students need an ordinary visa in the science and education category, at USD 20 single entry or USD 350 multiple entry.
• Work: the e-visa does not allow paid work, so a work visa based on an employer's work permit is needed.

Foreigners studying or teaching in Azerbaijan with government support are exempt from the state fee. Separately, the inviting institution pays an AZN 4 state fee in Azerbaijan when it asks the MFA to instruct the Embassy to issue a student visa.

How do you pay the Embassy fee in New Delhi?

Embassy visa fees are paid to the Embassy's account at RBL Bank Ltd, Vasant Vihar Branch, and the payment document goes into your file. The rules that affect your money:

• The state fee is not refunded if the visa is refused.
• Foreigners travelling in a group are each charged the state fee individually.
• Applications are submitted in person, or by a representative with notarized authorization, at the Consular Section, 41 Paschimi Marg, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi, on Tuesdays and Fridays (submission 10:00-12:00, collection 15:00-17:00).
• Documents are not accepted by post or courier, and the Embassy has no other office or authorized agency in India.

Applicants outside Delhi should budget for the trip to the capital, or for a notarized authorization for a representative, since the New Delhi Consular Section is the only submission point for all of India.

Can you skip the fee with a visa on arrival?

Not with an Indian passport alone. India is not on the MFA list of countries whose citizens receive visas at Azerbaijan's international airports, and it is not on any visa-free list. The exception: Indians holding a UAE resident visa, or a Saudi, Omani, Bahraini, Qatari or Kuwaiti residence permit, valid for more than 6 months can get a visa of up to 30 days at the airport. The airport visa fee for this group is not published in the sources checked, so confirm it before you fly.

Which mistakes cost you the fee?

1. An unreadable passport scan. ASAN Visa rejects e-visa applications with an unreadable scan of the photo page, and the fee is not refunded.
2. Short passport validity. Your passport must be valid at least 3 months beyond the e-visa's expiry date.
3. Applying too late. Apply at least 3 working days before arrival for the standard e-visa, or 3 hours for the urgent one.
4. Forgetting registration. For stays over 15 days, your hotel or host must register you with the State Migration Service; there is no state fee for this.

If an e-visa is refused, ASAN Visa emails the reasons under Article 16 of the Migration Code, and you may re-apply at an Azerbaijani diplomatic mission. An Embassy application needs a copy of medical insurance if your host does not cover medical costs, and two 3x4 cm colour photographs.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Azerbaijan e-visa fee refundable if refused?

No. The ASAN Visa portal states that the fee is not refunded if the e-visa is refused. The reasons are emailed to you under Article 16 of the Migration Code, and you may re-apply at an Azerbaijani diplomatic mission.

Can I pay the Azerbaijan visa fee in rupees?

Azerbaijan publishes its visa fees only in US dollars. The e-visa is paid online by Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay or JCB card, and Embassy fees are paid to the Embassy's RBL Bank account in Vasant Vihar, New Delhi.

How long can I stay in Azerbaijan on the e-visa?

The standard ASAN e-visa is single entry, valid for 90 days, with a stay of up to 30 days. Stays over 15 days require registration with the State Migration Service by your hotel or host.

Does a work visa cost the same as a tourist visa?

The work permit is obtained by the employer from the State Migration Service, and its state fee is not published on the pages checked. The e-visa does not allow paid work, so a work visa is required.
