Traveling from Maldives to Azerbaijan: Your Official e-Visa Guide

Are you a citizen of the Maldives planning to swap the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean for the historic shores of the Caspian Sea? Whether you are heading to Baku for high-level business, a cultural holiday, or to see the modern architecture of the "Land of Fire," your travel process is now easier than ever.

New Visa Policy for Maldivian Citizens

As of late 2025, Azerbaijan and the Maldives have entered into a mutual visa-free agreement allowing stays of up to 90 days. However, for many professional travelers, business representatives, and those who prefer to have a pre-cleared official document from the Azerbaijani government before arrival, the ASAN e-Visa remains a vital tool. Having an e-Visa ensures that your travel data is pre-verified, providing an extra layer of security and official proof for corporate or government purposes.

Key Visa Details

• Stay Duration: Standard e-Visa allows for up to 30 days (Visa-free up to 90 days).

• Validity: Once issued, the document is valid for entry for 90 days.

• Entry Type: This is a Single-Entry permit.

Requirements for Maldivian Applicants

If you choose to obtain an official e-Visa, please prepare the following:

1. Valid Passport: Your Maldivian passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your arrival date.

2. Digital Passport Scan: A clear, color scan of your passport’s biographical page.

3. Active Email: Your official document will be sent directly to you as a PDF.

The 15-Day Registration Rule

Important! Regardless of your visa type, if you plan to stay in Azerbaijan for more than 15 days, you are legally required to register with the State Migration Service. Most major hotels in Baku will handle this for you. If you are staying in a private residence, your host must register you within the first 15 days of your stay to avoid administrative fines.
