Azerbaijan Ultimate E-Visa Guide for ICELAND Citizens

Are you planning to travel from the volcanic landscapes of the North Atlantic to the mud volcanoes and modern skyscrapers of the Caucasus? For citizens of ICELAND, visiting Azerbaijan is now an incredibly efficient and entirely digital process. Thanks to the ASAN Visa system, you can obtain your travel authorization online, ensuring your journey from Reykjavík to the "Land of Fire" starts with ease.

Why ICELAND Citizens Need the ASAN Visa

As an eligible country for Azerbaijan's electronic visa program, travelers holding an ICELAND passport are required to obtain an e-visa before arrival. This system eliminates the need for visiting embassies or consulates, providing a 100% online solution for tourism, business, and cultural visits.

Core Visa Information for 2025:

• Visa Type: Single Entry.

• Validity Period: 90 Days (from the date of issuance).

• Maximum Stay: Up to 30 days within Azerbaijan.

Processing Times: Choose Your Speed

Depending on your travel urgency from ICELAND, the ASAN system offers two primary processing speeds:

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

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

Essential Passport Requirements

To ensure your application is approved without delay, your ICELAND passport must meet these specific standards:

• Validity Period: Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months after your e-visa expires. To be safe, we recommend having at least 6 months of validity from your arrival date.

• High-Quality Scan: You must upload a clear, color scan of your passport's bio-data page. Blurry images or glare can lead to an automatic rejection by the system.

The Important 15-Day Registration Rule

This is a critical legal requirement for all foreign visitors: if your stay in Azerbaijan exceeds 15 days, you must register with the State Migration Service.

• Pro Tip: If you are staying at a hotel, they will usually handle this for you. However, if you are staying in a private apartment or Airbnb, it is your host's responsibility to complete the registration. It is a free service, but failure to register can lead to heavy fines when you depart the country.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Do I need to print the E-Visa for travel from ICELAND?

Yes! You must print a physical hard copy of your e-visa. Azerbaijani border authorities require the paper version to be presented alongside your ICELAND passport. Digital copies on smartphones or tablets are not sufficient.

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 the country, the visa expires immediately. If you plan to leave Azerbaijan and return during the same trip, you will need to apply for a second visa.

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

If your e-visa is denied, the fee is non-refundable. Rejections are often due to typos or poor scan quality. If this happens, citizens of ICELAND should contact the nearest Azerbaijani diplomatic mission to apply for a traditional sticker visa.
