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

Are you a citizen of Japan planning a journey to the "Land of Fire"? From the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to the Flame Towers of Baku, the journey to Azerbaijan is now simpler than ever. As Japan is officially on the eligible countries list for the Azerbaijan e-Visa (ASAN Visa), you can secure your travel authorization 100% online, ensuring a smooth and dignified entry into the country.

By applying in advance through our professional service, you avoid any potential technical issues or queues at the airport. Our team provides an expert review to ensure your application is error-free, allowing you to clear passport control in minutes.

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 with the State Migration Service. Most luxury hotels in Baku will handle this for you upon check-in.
