Traveling from France to Azerbaijan: Your Complete e-Visa Guide

Are you a French citizen planning to swap the streets of Paris for the futuristic skyline of Baku? Whether you are traveling for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, a business summit, or to explore the UNESCO World Heritage sites of the Old City, your journey is now easier than ever. As France is officially on the eligible countries list for the Azerbaijan e-Visa (ASAN Visa), obtaining your travel permit is a 100% digital and stress-free process.

Why French Citizens Need an ASAN e-Visa

To enter the Republic of Azerbaijan, French passport holders are required to have a valid electronic visa. The ASAN Visa system has streamlined the entry process, removing the need to visit the Azerbaijani embassy or mail your physical passport. By choosing our premium service, you ensure that your application is meticulously reviewed by experts, providing a zero-error guarantee for a smooth arrival.

Requirements for French Applicants

To ensure your application is processed smoothly, please have the following ready:

1. Valid Passport: Your French passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended arrival date.

2. Digital Passport Scan: A clear, high-quality color photo or scan of your passport’s biographical (photo) page.

Important Note on the 15-Day Rule

If you plan to stay in Azerbaijan for more than 15 days, you are legally required to register your stay with the State Migration Service. Most luxury hotels in Baku will handle this for you upon check-in. However, if you are staying in a private residence, rental, or Airbnb, please ensure your host completes this mandatory registration within the first 15 days to avoid administrative fines upon departure.
