Azerbaijan: visa on arrival for UAE residents

Since 2018, all UAE residents can obtain a tourist visa on arrival in the Eastern European country. Previously visitors from the UAE needed to obtain a visa at the country’s embassy or the consulate-general in the UAE.

The on-arrival tourist visa is valid for one month the date of arrival.
