Azerbaijan Ultimate E-Visa Guide for MAURITIUS Citizens

Are you planning to travel from the tropical paradise of Port Louis to the windy and historic "Land of Fire"? For citizens of MAURITIUS, visiting Azerbaijan in 2025 is a seamless and entirely digital experience. Thanks to the ASAN Visa system, you can obtain your travel authorization online, ensuring your journey to Baku is completely stress-free.

Why MAURITIUS Citizens Need the ASAN Visa

As an eligible country for Azerbaijan's electronic visa program, travelers holding a MAURITIUS passport are required to secure an e-visa before arrival. This system replaces the need for traditional embassy visits, allowing you to apply for tourism, business, or cultural exploration entirely online.

Core Visa Information for 2025:

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

• Validity Period: 90 Days (the window of time you have to enter Azerbaijan).

• Maximum Stay: Up to 30 days within the country.

Processing Times: Choose Your Speed

Depending on your travel urgency from MAURITIUS, the ASAN system offers two primary processing options:

1. Standard E-Visa: Typically issued within 3 business days. This is the standard choice for most vacationers.

2. Urgent E-Visa: If you have an unexpected trip, the urgent option is processed in just 3 hours, available 24/7, including weekends and public holidays.

Essential Passport Requirements

To ensure a 100% approval rate, your MAURITIUS passport must meet these strict standards:

• The 6-Month Rule: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended date of arrival.

• High-Quality Scan: You must upload a clear, color scan of your passport's bio-data page. The automated system is sensitive; blurry images or glare from a camera flash can lead to an automatic rejection.

• Blank Pages: Ensure you have at least one blank page for entry and exit stamps at the border.

The Mandatory 15-Day Registration Rule

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

• Pro Tip: Most hotels in Baku will handle this for you upon check-in. However, if you are staying in a private rental (Airbnb) or with friends, your host must register you online. It is a free service, but failing to do so can result in significant fines (approx. 300-400 AZN) when you attempt to depart the country.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

Yes! You must print a physical hard copy of your e-visa. Azerbaijani border officials require the paper version to be presented along with your MAURITIUS passport. Digital copies on phones are not sufficient for 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, regardless of how many days you actually stayed.

3. What if I am a resident of Mauritius but have a different nationality?

The e-visa eligibility is based on your citizenship (passport), not your residency. If you are not a Mauritian citizen, you must check if your specific country of citizenship is on the ASAN eligibility list.
