Azerbaijan Ultimate E-Visa Guide for VANUATU Citizens

Are you planning to travel from the South Pacific paradise of Port Vila to the architectural wonders of Baku? For citizens of VANUATU, visiting Azerbaijan in 2026 is a streamlined and entirely digital process. Using the ASAN Visa system, Ni-Vanuatu travelers can secure their entry permit online, making the long-haul journey to the Caucasus as smooth as possible.

Why VANUATU Citizens Need the ASAN Visa

As an eligible country for Azerbaijan's electronic visa program, holders of an ordinary VANUATU passport are required to obtain an e-visa before arrival. This digital system replaces the old requirement of visiting an embassy, allowing you to handle the entire application for tourism, business, or cultural exploration from the comfort of your home.

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.

Essential Passport Requirements

To ensure a 100% approval rate, your VANUATU 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; please avoid glare or blurry images.

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

2026 Critical Update: Arrival & Land Borders

As of the latest government decree, Azerbaijan’s special quarantine regime has been extended. Land borders remain closed to passenger traffic until at least April 1, 2026.

• Travel Recommendation: Ni-Vanuatu citizens should plan to arrive by air at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) in Baku. Entering via land (e.g., from Georgia or Turkey) is not possible for tourists at this time.

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 upon check-in. 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.
