🇮🇷 Iran visa requirements for Azerbaijani citizens

Entry rules for Azerbaijan passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Azerbaijan can travel to Iran for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 14 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 14-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Iran, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Iran immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Azerbaijani passport ranks #117 worldwide, opening 74 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (34 visa-free, 37 with a visa on arrival and 3 with an eTA). Iran is one of them.

This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Iranian citizens need to arrange entry to Azerbaijan in advance (e-visa).

Across Southern Asia as a whole, 6 of 9 destinations are open to Azerbaijani travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
