Are you a Latvian citizen planning to travel from the Baltic shores to the vibrant Caspian Sea? Whether you are heading to Baku for the Formula 1 Grand Prix, exploring the UNESCO-listed Old City, or visiting for business, your entry permit is now just a few clicks away. As Latvia is an EU member state and officially on the eligible countries list for the Azerbaijan e-Visa (ASAN Visa), the entire process is 100% digital.

Why Latvian Citizens Need an ASAN e-Visa

To enter the Republic of Azerbaijan, Latvian passport holders are required to have a valid electronic visa. The ASAN Visa system has streamlined travel, meaning there is no longer any need to visit the Azerbaijani Embassy in Riga or send your physical passport by mail. By choosing our premium service, you ensure your application is reviewed by experts, providing a zero-error guarantee for a smooth and stress-free arrival.

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 major 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 any administrative fines upon departure.
