Azerbaijan Ultimate E-Visa Guide for MEXICO Citizens

Are you planning to travel from the vibrant streets of Mexico City or the beaches of Cancun to the "Paris of the East"? For citizens of MEXICO, visiting Azerbaijan in 2026 is a modern and entirely digital experience. Thanks to the ASAN Visa system, you can obtain your travel authorization online, ensuring your journey from North America to the Caspian Sea is seamless and stress-free.

Why MEXICO Citizens Need the ASAN Visa

As an eligible country for Azerbaijan's electronic visa program, travelers holding a MEXICO passport are required to secure an e-visa before arrival. This system eliminates the need for embassy visits, allowing you to handle the entire application for tourism, business, or cultural visits from your laptop or smartphone.

Core Visa Information for 2026:

• 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 MEXICO, the ASAN system offers two primary processing options:

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

2. Urgent E-Visa: If you have a last-minute flight or emergency business, the urgent option is processed in just 3 hours, available 24/7, including weekends.

Essential Passport Requirements

To ensure a successful application, your MEXICO passport must meet these strict criteria:

• 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 very sensitive; blurry images or glare from a camera flash can lead to an automatic rejection.

• Special Note for Non-Ordinary Passports: If you hold a Mexican Diplomatic or Service passport, you may be exempt from visa requirements for short stays. However, this guide applies specifically to Ordinary (Regular) passport holders.

The Mandatory 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: 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 register 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 MEXICO?

Yes! You must print a physical hard copy of your e-visa. Azerbaijani border officials require the paper version to be presented alongside your MEXICO passport. Digital copies on mobile devices 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 Azerbaijan, the visa expires immediately, regardless of how many days you actually stayed.

3. What if I have visited Nagorno-Karabakh in the past?

If you have visited the Nagorno-Karabakh region without official permission from the Republic of Azerbaijan, you may be denied entry or placed on a "Persona Non Grata" list. As of 2024, the e-visa application form no longer asks for this history, but border control still maintains these records.
