Azerbaijan Ultimate E-Visa Guide for PERU Citizens

Are you planning to travel from the historic heights of Machu Picchu or the culinary hub of Lima to the "Paris of the East"? For citizens of PERU, visiting Azerbaijan in 2026 is a modern, efficient, and entirely digital experience. Thanks to the ASAN Visa system, Peruvian travelers can secure their travel authorization online, ensuring a smooth journey from South America to the Caspian Sea.

Why PERU Citizens Need the ASAN Visa

As an eligible country for Azerbaijan's electronic visa program, travelers holding an ordinary PERU passport are required to obtain an e-visa before arrival. While there have been ongoing diplomatic discussions regarding a full visa-waiver agreement, the standard requirement for 2026 remains the electronic visa for all ordinary passport holders.

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 PERU, the ASAN system offers two primary processing options:

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

2. Urgent E-Visa: If you have an unexpected flight or a last-minute business opportunity, 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 PERU 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 in Azerbaijan.

• 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 Official Passports: Holders of Peruvian Diplomatic or Service passports are already exempt from visa requirements for short stays under a mutual agreement signed in 2013.

The Mandatory 15-Day Registration Rule

This is a critical legal requirement in 2026: 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

Yes! You must print a physical hard copy of your e-visa. Azerbaijani border officials require the paper version to be presented alongside your PERU passport. Digital copies on mobile devices are not sufficient for primary 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 whether you stayed for 5 days or 25 days.

3. Are there direct flights from Lima to Baku?

Currently, there are no direct flights. Most travelers from Peru connect through major hubs like Madrid, Istanbul, or Frankfurt. Always check the latest flight schedules for 2026.
