Azerbaijan Tourism e Visa
The tourism e-visa is a single entry visa issued to tourists from any of the 100 eligible countries. If your country makes a list and you wish to visit Azerbaijan for a short while, this e-visa is ideal. The tourist e-visa is valid for 90 days and allows you to stay in the country for 30 days. You can use it for vacation, attend sporting or social events, visit friends and family in Azerbaijan, or for humanitarian services. However, you must use the visa within 90 days after it is released so it doesn't expire.
Also, note that the e-visa is linked to your passport, so you must travel with the passport you used for the application. If your passport will expire in the next six months, endeavor to apply for a new one before applying for the visa.

Azerbaijan Business e Visa
The Azerbaijan electronic visa for business is designed for visitors who wish to visit for business purposes. This e-visa can be used to attend meetings, conferences, or seminars, settle estates, visit business partners and suppliers, negotiate and sign contracts, and any other business-related venture. While this visa is for commercial activities, it is not the same as a work visa issued by Azeri embassies and missions abroad. This is because business visitors coming to the country with e-visas must refrain from participating in any activity that will earn them pay in return.
To avail this e-visa, you will need an active email address to receive the electronic visa once it is approved. Business e-visas can only be used once as they are single-entry travel documents.

Azerbaijan Visa Policy
Azerbaijan has an active visa policy regulating visitors and immigrants and outflow. This policy is influenced by the Law on Entry, Exits, and Passports 1994 and the Law on Immigration 1998. Both laws are the cornerstone of the Azeri visa policy towards foreign nationals. It spells out the entry requirements for visitors and the type of visas they must apply for depending on their trip's purpose, nationality, and length of stay.
Only nationals from 10 countries can enter Azerbaijan without a visa; others must obtain visas from the Azeri embassy, online, or on arrival. Each application medium is open to selected visitors based on their nationality.
The Azerbaijan electronic visa system (e-visa) is, also called the ASAN visa, available to visitors from nearly 100 countries. The program was introduced to speed up the application process for visitors coming to Azerbaijan for short visits. At the same time, citizens from a further 140 countries must submit applications to Azerbaijan embassies abroad for consular visas.
