Do you need an Azerbaijan business visa?
British passport holders need a visa for short business visits to Azerbaijan, applied for online through the official ASAN Visa system.
What counts as a business visit?
Business visits usually include:
- Meetings with clients, suppliers or partners
- Conferences, exhibitions and trade fairs
- Negotiating or signing contracts
- Site visits and inspections
They don't include taking up paid work for a company in Azerbaijan. That needs a work visa or permit.
Documents for an Azerbaijan business visa
The key document is the invitation letter from the company you're visiting. It should include your name and passport number, the purpose and dates of your visit, the company's address and contact details, and who is paying for the trip. A letter from your UK employer confirming your role helps too.
