Do Infants and Children Need a Separate Azerbaijan eVisa?
Every traveller to Azerbaijan, including newborns and infants, requires an individual Azerbaijan eVisa. No age exemptions exist and children cannot be included on a parent’s eVisa.
The ASAN Visa system does not distinguish between accompanied and unaccompanied minors. Every applicant, regardless of age, submits an individual application with their own passport scan and pays the full fee. A family of four pays $120 (standard) or $260 (urgent), not $25 for the whole group. According to the ASAN Visa portal (evisa.gov.az), each applicant, including infants, must submit a separate application.
| Age group | Standard fee | Urgent fee | Total per person (incl. $5 service fee) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infant (0-2) | $25 + $5 | $60 + $5 | $30 / $65 |
| Child (2-18) | $25 + $5 | $60 + $5 | $30 / $65 |
| Adult (18+) | $25 + $5 | $60 + $5 | $30 / $65 |
Family cost calculator: 2 adults + 1 child (standard) = $90; family of 4 (standard) = $120; family of 4 (urgent) = $260. The $25 breaks down as $20 base state fee + $5 administrative processing fee. All fees are non-refundable (source: flypgs.com).
| Country | Infant on parent’s passport? | Separate visa for infant? |
|---|---|---|
| Azerbaijan | No | Yes, individual eVisa required |
| UK (domestic) | Yes (under 16) | N/A |
| Turkey | No | Yes, separate eVisa |
The Azerbaijan eVisa has no “accompanied minor” category. Each minor requires a separate submission, passport scan, and fee.
Documents and Parental Consent for a Child’s Azerbaijan eVisa
The Azerbaijan eVisa portal (evisa.gov.az) requires for each minor: a passport valid at least 3 months beyond the eVisa’s validity (FCDO recommends 6 months), a 3×4 cm colour biometric photo (source: flypgs.com), a scanned birth certificate proving parent-child relationship, accommodation booking covering the entire stay, and a copy of the accompanying parent’s passport bio page.
- Valid child’s passport (minimum 3 months beyond eVisa validity; FCDO advises 6 months; at least 1 blank page)
- Digital passport-sized photo, 3×4 cm, colour, biometric specification
- Birth certificate (scanned upload; proves parent-child relationship)
- Accommodation booking covering the child’s entire stay
- Copy of accompanying parent’s or guardian’s passport bio page
- Parental consent letter, required for any minor travelling without both parents
A parental consent letter must contain: child’s full name, passport number, travel dates, destination, accompanying adult’s name, and absent parent’s signature. UK applicants should obtain an apostille via the FCDO Legalisation Office (approximately £30 per document, 2-5 business days). Accepted languages: English and Azerbaijani.
Specimen consent letter structure: [Child’s full name] | [Passport number] | [Travel dates] | [Destination: Azerbaijan] | [Accompanying adult’s name] | [Absent parent’s signature and date]
Decision tree: who is travelling with the child?
- Both parents: birth certificate + both passports (consent letter not strictly required but recommended)
- One parent: notarised consent from absent parent + birth certificate + copies of parents’ IDs
- Grandparent or relative: consent letter from both parents + copies of parents’ IDs + birth certificate
- Sole custody: apostilled court custody order
- Deceased parent: death certificate in lieu of consent
- Adopted child: adoption papers or legal guardianship certificate
The Azerbaijan eVisa system has no unaccompanied minor (UM) category; border officers may request additional documentation at point of entry. Airline UM policies are separate from visa requirements. The requirement for parental consent is based on Azerbaijani migration regulations governing exit and entry of minors.
Family Group and Organised Group eVisa Applications
The Azerbaijan eVisa portal (evisa.gov.az) supports family batches (2-10 persons) and group batches (10-300 persons) with a single card payment.
Family batches (2-10 persons) and group batches (10-300 persons) on evisa.gov.az both require individual eVisas for each member. The per-person fee stays $25 standard / $60 urgent regardless of batch type; the only advantage is administrative: one lead applicant manages all uploads and one card pays for the entire batch (source: evisa.gov.az/information).
| Submission type | Batch size | Payment | Email delivery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual | 1 person | Single card | Applicant’s email |
| Family | 2-10 persons | Single card for entire batch | Lead applicant’s email |
| Group | 10-300 persons | Single card for entire batch | Lead applicant’s email |
Select submission type
Choose Individual, Family (2-10), or Group (10-300) on evisa.gov.az.
Lead applicant enters own data
Add members one by one with individual passport scans and photos.
Submit the batch
Ensure every member’s documents are uploaded before submitting.
Pay with one card
MasterCard, Visa, or Maestro with 3D Secure and international transactions enabled. The cardholder name need not match any applicant (source: azerbaijan.vfsevisa.com).
All approval PDFs route to the lead applicant’s email
If one application in a batch is rejected, the others proceed independently; the rejected applicant must reapply separately with the full fee.
The Azerbaijan eVisa governs this batch process identically for infants, children, and adults, ensuring every traveller receives a separate single-entry visa valid for 90 days from issuance.
Processing, Validity, and Common Mistakes to Avoid
Processing times (source: azerbaijan.vfsevisa.com) are identical for all ages: standard up to 3 business days, urgent within 3 hours (including holidays). The approved PDF is valid 90 days from issuance, single entry, max 30-day stay: no age-based differences.
The Azerbaijan eVisa arrives as a .pdf file via email. A printed copy is required at the border checkpoint, with a phone backup recommended. Apply 1-2 weeks before travel (source: airindia.com).
- Residence registration: stays exceeding 15 days require free registration via www.migration.gov.az. Each family member, including infants, must be registered individually. Hotels typically auto-register guests.
- Amendments: the Azerbaijan eVisa cannot be changed once processed. A new passport means a new application with full fee.
Common mistakes when applying for an Azerbaijan eVisa for a minor:
- ❌ Non-compliant photo (must be 3×4 cm, plain white background, child’s eyes open). In practice, the evisa.gov.az photo upload tool rejects non-compliant images.
- ❌ Missing parental consent letter when one parent is absent
- ❌ Passport validity miscalculation (3 months minimum; FCDO advises 6 months; check airline policy)
- ❌ Name mismatch between passport and birth certificate
- ❌ No printed copy at border: digital-only is not sufficient
- ❌ Assuming infants under 2 are fee-exempt: they are not
- ✅ Upload clear documents per specification to avoid rejection (source: airindia.com)
- ✅ Carry originals of consent letter and birth certificate at border
