BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 19. Azerbaijan has
abolished visa requirements for citizens holding ordinary passports
from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Sultanate of Oman, the State
of Kuwait, and the Kingdom of Bahrain, in a move aimed at
facilitating travel and strengthening ties between countries, the
State Migration Service told Trend.
According to the service, the new rules will apply from February
15, 2026, through February 15, 2027. During this period, citizens
of the four countries will be allowed to enter Azerbaijan visa-free
three times and stay for up to 30 days per visit.
The service noted that citizens intending to travel for purposes
other than tourism or to remain in Azerbaijan for a longer period
must obtain an appropriate visa in accordance with national
legislation before entering the country.
In addition, third-country nationals holding temporary or
permanent residence permits, issued by the relevant state
authorities of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the State
of Qatar, with a validity of at least 6 months, will be eligible to
obtain a single-entry 30-day tourist visa upon arrival at
Azerbaijan’s international airports during the specified
period.
Authorities also reminded foreigners that they must register at
their place of stay in Azerbaijan for more than 15 days in
accordance with the Migration Code. Where grounds provided by law
exist, foreigners may apply for an extension of their temporary
stay or for a temporary residence permit before the expiration of
their stay by applying in person through the “migration services”
window at ASAN Service centers or electronically via the
“Electronic services” section of the official website of the
service.
