‘ASAN Visa’: Azerbaijan launches hassle-free e-visas for Pakistani travelers

In a move to streamline and simplify the visa application process, the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan announced on Friday that Pakistani citizens can now obtain an electronic visa (e-visa) through the user-friendly "ASAN Visa" system.

This innovative system requires applicants to follow three simple steps: apply, pay, and download the e-visa. The entire process is designed to be swift and efficient, with a commitment to providing approved e-visas within three days, including a mere three hours.

Notably, the state fee for the e-visa is set at $20, with an option for an urgent visa available at $50. This new electronic visa initiative aims to enhance accessibility and convenience for Pakistani citizens seeking to travel to Azerbaijan.

To apply for a single-entry visa, valid for a 30-day stay in the territory of Azerbaijan, Pakistani citizens can directly access the application portal provided by the Embassy of Azerbaijan. This initiative reflects Azerbaijan's commitment to fostering strong bilateral ties and promoting ease of travel for visitors from Pakistan.
