Overview
If you’re an Indian professional or business owner planning to attend meetings, conferences, or explore partnerships in Azerbaijan, you’ll need an Azerbaijan Business Visa.
This visa is specifically for short-term business purposes — attending meetings, negotiating deals, or representing your organization at events. It does not allow employment or paid work in Azerbaijan.
Baku, the capital, is a hub of commerce and trade in the region, offering excellent opportunities for networking and business growth. Applying for a business visa is your first step toward entering Azerbaijan’s thriving business ecosystem.
You can apply online via the official Azerbaijan eVisa portal:
