Azerbaijan Ultimate E-Visa Guide for GUATEMALA Citizens

Are you dreaming of a journey from the Mayan highlands of Central America to the futuristic "Land of Fire"? For citizens of GUATEMALA, visiting Azerbaijan is now a seamless and 100% digital experience. Thanks to the ASAN Visa system, you can obtain your travel authorization online in just a few clicks, making your trip from Guatemala City to Baku easier than ever.

Why GUATEMALA Citizens Need the ASAN Visa

As an eligible country, travelers holding a GUATEMALA passport are required to secure an electronic visa (e-visa) before arriving in the Republic of Azerbaijan. This system replaces the need for traditional embassy visits, allowing you to apply for tourism, business, or cultural purposes entirely online.

Quick Visa Facts for 2025:

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

• Validity Period: 90 Days (the window of time 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 GUATEMALA, the ASAN system provides two main processing options:

1. Standard E-Visa: Typically issued within 3 business days. This is the most common and cost-effective choice for planned vacations.

2. Urgent E-Visa: Need to fly out soon? The urgent option is processed in just 3 hours, functioning 24/7, including weekends and public holidays.

Essential Passport Requirements

To ensure your application is approved without any issues, your GUATEMALA passport must meet these standards:

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

• Clear Document Scan: You must upload a high-quality color scan of your passport's bio-page. Blurry or cropped images are the leading cause of rejections by the automated system.

The Important 15-Day Registration Rule

This is a crucial legal step: if your stay in Azerbaijan exceeds 15 days, you are legally required to register with the State Migration Service.

• Note: This is a free service. Most hotels in Baku will handle this for you automatically. However, if you are staying in a private apartment or Airbnb, it is your host's responsibility to register you. Failing to do so can result in administrative fines when you depart.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

Yes! You must print a physical hard copy of your e-visa. Azerbaijani border authorities require the paper version alongside your GUATEMALA passport. A digital copy on your phone is not sufficient for border entry.

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. You would need a new visa to re-enter.

3. What happens if my application is rejected?

If your e-visa is denied, the fee is non-refundable. Most rejections occur due to mistakes in the application form or poor passport scans. In such cases, citizens of GUATEMALA must contact the nearest Azerbaijani Embassy to apply for a traditional sticker visa.
