Are you a Romanian traveler planning a trip to the “Land of Fire”? Whether you are visiting the mud volcanoes of Gobustan or the skyscrapers of Baku, getting your travel authorization is the most important step. Since 2017, Romanian nationals have benefited from the simplified ASAN Visa system.
In this guide, we answer the most frequently asked questions to ensure your Azerbaijan Visa For Romania.
Do Romanian Citizens Need a Visa for Azerbaijan?
Yes. Romanian citizens holding a standard passport must have a valid visa to enter the Republic of Azerbaijan. Fortunately, Romania is one of the eligible countries for the “ASAN Visa,” a 100% electronic visa (eVisa) that removes the need to visit an embassy or consulate in person.
What Documents Are Required for the Application?
The document requirements for Romanian citizens are minimal. You only need:
A Clear Scan of Your Passport Bio-Page: This is the page containing your photo, name, and passport number.
Validity Note: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date you intend to enter Azerbaijan.
Active Email Address: To receive your approved eVisa PDF.
How Long is the Processing Time for an Azerbaijan eVisa?
We offer three distinct processing tiers depending on the urgency of your travel plans:
Standard Processing: Approved within 3 – 5 business days.
Urgent Processing: Approved within 12 – 24 hours.
Super Rush Processing: Approved within 4 – 6 hours.
What are the Airport Transit Rules for Passengers?
If you are transiting through Baku (Heydar Aliyev International Airport) and do not leave the international transit zone, you do not need an eVisa. However, if your connection requires you to clear immigration, collect luggage, or check in for a new flight outside the transit area, you must have a valid eVisa.
Can an Agent Fix My Blurry Passport Document?
Yes! One of the biggest reasons for rejection is a poor-quality photo or scan. If you send us a document that isn’t quite right, our agents can often enhance or fix the clarity of your scan to meet the government’s strict standards. We act as your quality control to ensure 100% accuracy before submission.
How Does the Emergency eVisa Work for Last-Minute Trips?
If you are at the airport and realize you forgot your visa, our Super Rush Processing is designed for you. We can process emergency Azerbaijan eVisas in 4 to 6 hours. Contact us via WhatsApp immediately for priority handling to ensure you don’t miss your flight.
Which Cities Are Best for Night-time Sightseeing?
Baku is famously known as the “City of Lights.” Baku offers incredible night views of the Flame Towers, the Baku Eye, and the seaside Boulevard. Gabala is also a fantastic choice for nature lovers, offering nighttime cable car rides and stargazing opportunities in the Tufandag mountains.
Can I Apply if My Passport Has Less Than 6 Months Validity?
Strictly speaking, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. If it has less, your application will likely be rejected by the government system. We recommend renewing your passport before applying. If you are unsure about your dates, our experts can review your document and advise you on the best course of action.
Do I Need a Permit to Bring a Drone on a Tourist Visa?
Yes. Bringing a drone into Azerbaijan is strictly regulated. Even for personal use, you generally need a special permit from the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport. Attempting to bring one in without a permit may result in the drone being confiscated at customs.
Is a Return Ticket Required for Entry?
While you don’t always need to upload a ticket for the eVisa application, border officials at the airport often ask to see a confirmed return or onward ticket. Having a copy ready (digital or printed) is highly recommended to ensure a smooth entry process.
What Happens if I Overstay My Visa by Just 2 Hours?
Azerbaijan takes visa durations very seriously. Overstaying by even a few hours can result in a fine (typically starting at 300-400 AZN) and a potential ban from re-entering the country for a specific period. Always ensure you exit before your 30-day stay limit expires.
Will I Receive Entry/Exit Stamps on an eVisa?
Yes. Even though the visa is electronic, the border officer will place a physical entry stamp in your passport when you arrive and an exit stamp when you leave. Make sure your passport has at least one blank page for these stamps.
