Azerbaijan Visa Types
The Guardian of Fire, or Azer (fire) Baijan (guardian),
is a young democratic nation just established in 1991. It boasts of both
beautiful medieval architecture that
mingles Persian, Russian, and Islamic art, as well as modern luxuries such as
Christian Dior and Tom Ford shops. Its booming oil business around the Caspian
Sea is a draw for industrialists and businessmen alike.
If you are a US passport holder, you must have
a visa to travel to Azerbaijan. The choice of common visas is fairly
straightforward, but the Azeri government does utilize a courier service,
Travisa Outsourcing, to collect all visa applications. It is responsible for
accepting applications and returning passports. For detailed information on
