Azerbaijan Ultimate E-Visa Guide for SWEDEN Citizens

Are you planning to travel from the scenic streets of Stockholm or the historic canals of Gothenburg to the futuristic "Land of Fire"? For citizens of SWEDEN, visiting Azerbaijan in 2026 is a 100% digital and highly efficient process. Using the ASAN Visa system, Swedish travelers can secure their entry permit online, making the journey to the Caucasus smoother than ever.

Why SWEDEN Citizens Need the ASAN Visa

As an eligible country for Azerbaijan's electronic visa program, holders of an ordinary SWEDEN passport are required to obtain an e-visa before arrival. There is no "Visa on Arrival" for Swedish citizens at the airport, so having your approved visa printed before you board is essential.

Core Visa Information for 2026:

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

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

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

We offer two specialized processing options to fit your travel schedule. Note our updated service fees for 2026:

Essential Passport Requirements

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

• The 6-Month Rule: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended arrival date 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; avoid any glare or blur.

• Blank Pages: Ensure you have at least one blank page for stamps.

2026 Critical Update: Land Borders Closed Until April

As of December 2025, the Azerbaijani government has officially extended the special quarantine regime. Land borders remain closed to passenger traffic until April 1, 2026.

• Travel Recommendation: Swedish citizens should plan to arrive by air at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) in Baku.

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.

• How to register: Most hotels in Baku will handle this for you. If you are staying in a private rental (Airbnb) or with friends, your host must register you online.

• Cost: This 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.
