Latvian “Non-Citizen” (Alien) Passport Holders

Holders of Latvian Non-Citizen (Alien's) passports are generally eligible for the ASAN E-Visa under the “stateless persons” category. However, regulations can change; we recommend checking our FAQ for the latest status.

If a Latvia citizen stays in Azerbaijan for more than 15 consecutive days, registration with the State Migration Service is mandatory.

• Penalty: Failure to register leads to a fine of 300–400 AZN and potential complications when leaving the country.
