STATUTORY REGULATIONS FOR CULTURAL AND ATHLETIC STAY

​

LEGAL COMPLIANCE FOR GLOBAL TALENT

To maintain your professional standing and ensure smooth entry for future international tours or competitions, every applicant must adhere to the following statutory protocols established by the State Migration Service:

• MAXIMUM STAY ALLOWANCE: The Cultural and Sports e-Visa permits a stay of up to 30 days. This is specifically intended for event participation and does not authorize permanent residency or long-term employment within Azerbaijan.

• THE 90-DAY ENTRY WINDOW: Upon issuance, your permit is valid for 90 days. You must enter Azerbaijan within this timeframe, and your 30-day stay begins exactly at the moment of your official border crossing.

• SINGLE-ENTRY LIMITATION: This category is issued as a Single Entry permit. If your regional tour requires you to travel to neighboring Georgia or Turkey and return to Azerbaijan, you must procure a new e-Visa for each subsequent entry.

• MANDATORY MIGRATION REGISTRATION: If your professional stay in Azerbaijan exceeds 15 days, you are legally required to register with the State Migration Service. Most official event organizers and luxury hotels facilitate this, but the traveler must ensure this step is completed to avoid legal fines upon departure.

DO I NEED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF PARTICIPATION AT THE BORDER?

While the e-Visa is your primary entry document, we strongly recommend carrying your event accreditation, concert contract, or team invitation to present to border officers if requested during the entry process in Baku.
