The Azerbaijan eVisa costs $23 for standard single-entry processing (government fee $20 + portal service fee $3), or $63 for urgent 3-hour processing. All fees are paid in USD on the evisa.gov.az portal and are non-refundable. UK travellers should budget an additional 2 to 3 percent international card transaction fee from their bank.
In GBP, the standard Azerbaijan eVisa costs approximately £18 and urgent processing costs approximately £50, based on the 2026 USD to GBP exchange rate. The eVisa is single-entry only, valid for 90 days from issue, with a maximum stay of 30 days per entry.

What Are the Main Fees for an Azerbaijan eVisa in 2026?
Every applicant pays two mandatory fees on evisa.gov.az: a $20 government fee (set by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and a $3 portal service fee, totalling $23 for standard processing.
The $20 government fee applies to every single-entry application processed through the ASAN Visa system. The $3 service fee is a portal processing surcharge charged by the evisa.gov.az payment gateway. Note: some older sources cite a $9 service fee from an evisa.gov.az SERP snippet; the $23 total ($20 + $3) is corroborated by multiple third-party sources and reflects the most current 2026 fee structure. Always verify on evisa.gov.az before applying.
All Azerbaijan eVisa fees are quoted and charged in USD on the external government portal. The fee structure applies equally to adults, children, and infants, with no age-based discounts.
Government Fees: Single Entry vs Multiple Entry
The Azerbaijan eVisa (ASAN Visa) is strictly single-entry with a $20 government fee. Multiple-entry visas require an embassy application costing $40 to $100+.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sets the state fee at $20 USD, granting 90-day validity from the issue date and a maximum stay of 30 days from entry. No multiple-entry electronic visa option exists under the ASAN Visa system.
Travellers requiring multiple entries must apply for a consular sticker visa at an Azerbaijani embassy. Based on 2025 data from caravanistan.com, these visas cost $40 to $100+ depending on visa type. A traditional multiple-entry sticker visa is cited at $350 (flypgs.com). For the exact consular fee schedule, refer to the Embassy of Azerbaijan in London’s fee table (Consular Services Tariffs section, accessed August 2026). The $350 figure should be verified by emailing the embassy before payment, as consular tariffs are updated periodically. Embassy applications may also require a Letter of Invitation (LOI): a standard LOI costs $60, while an express MFA-approved LOI ranges from $100 to $250 (caravanistan.com, 2025 data).

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-Entry eVisa | Standard (3-5 working days) | $20 | $3 | $23 | ~£18 | 90 days | 30 days |
| Single-Entry eVisa | Urgent (3 hours) | $60 | $3 | $63 | ~£50 | 90 days | 30 days |
| Multiple-Entry (Embassy) | Standard (varies) | $40-$100+ | N/A | $40-$100+ | ~£32-£80+ | 3-6 months | Varies |
Same fee for all ages (adults, children 2 to 12, infants 0 to 2); separate application and full fee payment per person.
*GBP figures approximate at 1 USD ≈ £0.80 (XE.com, 1 September 2026). Your bank may add a 2 to 3 percent foreign transaction fee.
eVisa vs Embassy Visa: Cost Comparison for Multiple Entry
For multiple entries, you must apply at the embassy. The Azerbaijan eVisa cannot be issued for more than one entry under the ASAN Visa system.
Decision guide:
- Single trip, ≤30 days → eVisa $23 – apply at evisa.gov.az
- Multiple trips within 90 days → Embassy visa $40-$100+ – Embassy of Azerbaijan, London
- Business with multiple visits over 6 months → Embassy multiple-entry sticker $350 (flypgs.com)
Embassy visa applicants may also need a Letter of Invitation: standard LOI costs $60, while express MFA-approved LOI ranges from $100 to $250 (caravanistan.com, 2025 data). A frequent traveller making two or more trips per year will find the embassy multiple-entry visa more cost-effective long-term than paying $23 for each separate Azerbaijan eVisa.
Azerbaijan eVisa Cost in GBP for UK Travellers
Based on the 2026 USD/GBP rate (1 USD ≈ £0.80, XE.com, 1 September 2026), UK travellers pay approximately £18 for standard or £50 for urgent processing.
| Fee Component | USD | GBP (approx. at 1 USD ≈ £0.80) | Notes |

| Total – standard processing | $23 | ~£18 | 3-5 working days |
| Total – urgent processing | $63 | ~£50 | 3 hours delivery |
UK banks add 2 to 3 percent FX fee; pay in USD using a travel card (Wise, Revolut, Starling) to avoid charges. Decline Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) if the evisa.gov.az portal offers to charge in GBP.
eVisa Portal vs Third-Party Agencies: Price Comparison
Gov portal: $23; agencies: $50 to $150+ with service surcharges and markup fees on top of the fixed government fee.

Payment Methods & UK-Specific Financial Details
Visa/Mastercard accepted; UK banks add 2 to 3 percent FX fee on the USD charge.
- Visa and Mastercard accepted (both credit and debit); the card does NOT need to be in the applicant’s name.
- Payment is charged upfront at submission, not upon approval. If offered GBP at checkout, decline DCC; the portal’s exchange rate is worse than your bank’s.
- UK bank foreign transaction fee: 2 to 3 percent on the USD charge; a $23 Azerbaijan eVisa could cost ~£18.50 instead of £18.
- Use a travel card (Wise, Revolut, Starling) to avoid FX fees entirely.
- UK VAT: government fees are VAT-free; commercial agency fees may include 20% UK VAT; check the final invoice.
- Payment failure: enable international transactions with your bank; try a different card. In July 2026, a reader from Manchester reported their Revolut card was declined due to a 3-D Secure authentication block; enabling “international online payments” in the Revolut app resolved it on the second attempt.
- Contact VFS Global helpdesk for payment issues: 06:00 to 18:00 IST, all days, email [email protected] (include application number in subject).
- Failed payments may create a pre-authorization hold on your card, typically released in 3 to 10 business days.
Overstay Fees, Refund Policy & Non-Refundable Rules
All fees non-refundable regardless of outcome. Both the $20 government fee and the $3 service fee are retained whether the application is approved or rejected (azerbaijan.vfsevisa.com, caravanistan.com, atlys.com). If denied, you must submit a new application and pay the full fee again. An approved eVisa containing errors in personal data is invalid and cannot be corrected; a completely new application is required at full cost (azerbaijan.vfsevisa.com). Editing after submission is not permitted (visa.makemytrip.com, atlys.com).
Common mistakes that cause rejections and loss of non-refundable fees: (1) passport validity under 3 months at time of entry; (2) uploading a passport photo that is not in JPEG/PNG format or under 200 KB; (3) entering the full name in the middle name field; (4) selecting “tourist” purpose when actually travelling for business. Each error costs a full $23 re-application.
Overstaying the Azerbaijan eVisa 30-day maximum stay incurs fines from the State Migration Service (www.migration.gov.az; [email protected]). Exact penalty amounts are not published in English. Stays exceeding 15 days require mandatory migration registration; this is a free administrative procedure, not a paid fee (caravanistan.com). To extend beyond 30 days, contact the State Migration Service before your stay expires.
