Processing Time FAQ

Common questions about Azerbaijan e-Visa processing times

If your visa takes longer than 3 working days, check your application status online first. During peak seasons or if additional verification is needed, processing may take 5-7 days. If it exceeds this timeframe, contact the ASAN Visa support team with your reference number.

Same-day processing is not guaranteed through the standard e-Visa system. For urgent travel needs, contact the nearest Azerbaijan embassy or consulate. They may offer expedited services or emergency visa processing for qualifying situations with additional fees.

No, weekends and public holidays do not count toward processing time. The 3-day processing period refers to working days only (Monday to Friday). Applications submitted on Friday will typically be processed starting the following Monday.

If your application is rejected, you'll receive an email explaining the reason. Common reasons include incomplete documentation or eligibility issues. You can reapply after addressing the issues, but visa fees are generally non-refundable. Processing time for reapplications follows the same 3-day standard.

Once submitted, applications cannot be modified. If you notice an error, contact ASAN Visa support immediately. Minor errors might be correctable, but significant changes typically require a new application. This may reset your processing time to day one.
