アゼルバイジャン：出発前に知っておきたいこと

重要ポイント

  • Land borders stay closed for normal entry (special quarantine regime extended to 2 Jan 2027) — arrive by air. Only the Baku–Tbilisi train resumed in May 2026; confirm eligibility first.
  • Register with the State Migration Service if staying over 15 days (hotels usually do it; apartments — you must). Unregistered stays are fined on exit.
  • Visiting Karabakh/Khankendi without Azerbaijani permission can get you refused entry; people of Armenian origin are generally not admitted.
  • Most Western and Indian visitors need an ASAN e-Visa (apply 3+ days ahead, print it); CIS, Turkish, Chinese and UAE citizens are visa-free.
  • Exporting carpets, antiques or art needs an export certificate.

入国とビザ

CIS citizens (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine) are visa-free; Turkey (since 2019), UAE (2023) and China (since 20 Jul 2025) too. US, UK, EU and Indian citizens need an ASAN e-Visa: single entry, 30-day stay within 90 days validity, standard up to 3 working days, urgent within 3 hours. Entry is effectively by air only.
