Azerbaijan Ultimate E-Visa Guide for TURKMENISTAN Citizens

Are you planning to travel across the Caspian Sea from the white marble city of Ashgabat to the modern skyline of Baku? For citizens of TURKMENISTAN, visiting Azerbaijan in 2026 is an entirely digital and straightforward process. Thanks to the ASAN Visa system, Turkmen travelers can secure their entry permit online, making the journey between these two Caspian neighbors easier than ever.

Why TURKMENISTAN Citizens Need the ASAN Visa

As a citizen of Turkmenistan, you are eligible for the electronic visa (e-visa) program. This means you no longer need to visit an embassy or consulate in person for short-term visits. The e-visa covers tourism, business meetings, science, education, and medical treatment.

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.

Essential Passport Requirements

To ensure a 100% approval rate, your TURKMENISTAN 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. Blurry images or glare from a camera flash are the most common reasons for rejection.

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

2026 Critical Update: Arrival & Land Borders

As of the latest government decree, Azerbaijan’s special quarantine regime has been extended until April 1, 2026.

• Travel Recommendation: Turkmen citizens should plan to arrive by air at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) in Baku. Land borders currently remain closed to passenger traffic.

The Mandatory 15-Day Registration Rule

This is the most critical legal requirement for 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 upon check-in. If you are staying in a private rental (Airbnb) or with relatives, your host must register you online at the official migration portal.

• Cost: This is a free service, but failing to do so can result in significant fines (approx. 300-400 AZN) or complications when you attempt to leave the country.
