Azerbaijan Ultimate E-Visa Guide for GREECE Citizens

Are you planning to travel from the historic ruins of Athens or the blue waters of Santorini to the modern skyline of Baku? For citizens of GREECE, visiting Azerbaijan is now a seamless and 100% digital experience. Thanks to the ASAN Visa system, you can obtain your travel authorization online without ever visiting an embassy. Whether it's for tourism, business, or a cultural adventure in the Caucasus, this guide covers everything you need to know for 2025.

Why GREECE Citizens Need the ASAN Visa

As an eligible country, travelers holding a GREECE passport are required to secure an electronic visa (e-visa) before entering the Republic of Azerbaijan. This system is designed to be quick and efficient, replacing the traditional sticker visa process. It is perfect for those planning a stay of up to a month in the "Land of Fire."

Core Visa Information:

• Visa Type: Single Entry (valid for one entry only).

• Validity Period: 90 Days (the timeframe you have to enter the country).

• Maximum Stay: Up to 30 days within Azerbaijan.

Processing Times: Choose Your Speed

Depending on your travel urgency from GREECE, you can choose between two primary processing options:

1. Standard E-Visa: Typically issued within 3 business days. This is the best choice for travelers who have their trip planned well in advance.

2. Urgent E-Visa: For last-minute plans, the urgent option is processed in just 3 hours. This service is available 24/7, including weekends and public holidays.

Critical Passport Requirements

To ensure your application is approved smoothly, your GREECE passport must meet these specific standards:

• The 3-Month Rule: Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months after your e-visa's expiry date. However, to stay safe, we recommend having at least 6 months of validity from your date of arrival.

• High-Quality Scan: You must upload a clear, color scan of your passport's bio-data page. The automated system needs to read your information perfectly; blurry or cropped images are the leading cause of rejections.

The Important 15-Day Registration Rule

This is a crucial legal requirement for all visitors: if your stay in Azerbaijan exceeds 15 days, you are required by law to register with the State Migration Service.

• Note: This is a free service. If you are staying at a hotel, they will usually handle this for you. If you are staying in a private home or Airbnb, your host must complete the registration online. Failing to do this can lead to fines when you try to leave the country.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is it mandatory to print the E-Visa for citizens of GREECE?

Yes! You must print a physical hard copy of your e-visa. Azerbaijani border officials require a paper copy to be presented alongside your GREECE passport. Digital versions on phones or tablets will not be accepted as valid travel documents at the checkpoint.

2. Can I enter Azerbaijan more than once with the same visa?

No. The ASAN E-Visa is a single-entry permit. Once you exit Azerbaijan, the visa expires immediately, even if you stayed for only a few days. If you plan to visit a neighboring country and return, you will need a new visa.

3. What should I do if my application is rejected?

If your e-visa is denied, the fee is non-refundable. Most rejections are due to typos or poor document scans. In such cases, citizens of GREECE must contact the nearest Azerbaijani Embassy (such as the one in Athens) to apply for a traditional sticker visa.
