Azerbaijan Ultimate E-Visa Guide for SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES Citizens

Are you planning to travel from the lush islands of the Grenadines to the ancient fire temples and modern architecture of Baku? For citizens of SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES, visiting Azerbaijan in 2026 is a simplified and entirely digital experience. By using the official ASAN Visa portal, travelers can secure their entry permit online, ensuring a smooth transition from the Caribbean to the Caucasus.

Why SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES Citizens Need the ASAN Visa

As an eligible country for Azerbaijan's electronic visa program, travelers holding an ordinary SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES passport are required to obtain an e-visa before arrival. This system replaces the need for embassy visits, allowing you to manage the entire application process for tourism, business, or cultural exploration online.

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 after issuance).

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

Processing Times: Choose Your Speed

Depending on your travel urgency from SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES, 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 vacations.

2. Urgent E-Visa: If you have an unexpected flight or a last-minute 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 SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES 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. Blurry images or glare from a camera flash will lead to an automatic rejection by the automated system.

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

2026 Important Update: Land Border Closures

A vital note for your 2026 itinerary: the Azerbaijani government has extended its special quarantine regime until early 2026 (currently scheduled until at least January 1, 2026, with potential for further extension).

• Air Travel Only: All foreign travelers, including those from St. Vincent and the Grenadines, must enter and leave Azerbaijan only by air via Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) in Baku.

• Land Borders: Overland travel via Georgia, Turkey, or Russia remains restricted for passenger traffic.

The Mandatory 15-Day Registration Rule

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) or issues when you attempt to depart.
