Travelling to Azerbaijan: There are a limited number of commercial flights to and from Baku. Check with your travel agent about routes and availability of tickets, and check information on transiting other countries.

The use of a medical mask will be required at all times whilst at the airport and on the flight. It is mandatory to keep the mask on at all times except for specific requirements for example at border control, at the request of an airport official or whilst eating.

Azerbaijan’s land borders with all neighbouring countries remain closed.

Screening: The Cabinet of Ministers of Azerbaijan has issued a decree that all passengers 1 year old and over travelling to Azerbaijan will require a negative PCR COVID-19 test taken no more than 72 hours before your flight’s departure to Azerbaijan. Some foreign nationals 18 years old and over require a ‘COVID-19 passport’, a document confirming full vaccination against COVID-19 or a document showing immunity to COVID-19 in order to enter Azerbaijan. (See ‘Demonstrating your COVID-19 vaccination status’).

The authorities have indicated that foreign nationals who already hold temporary or permanent residency in Azerbaijan may be exempt from the requirement to provide a ‘COVID-19 passport’ to re-enter Azerbaijan but still need a negative PCR COVID-19 test.

Entry requirements can change with no notice. You should check with your airline before flying for the most up to date information and to see what documentation they will need.

You should seek to have your test results via email and printed off, or a paper certificate. You may be tested again for COVID-19 and have your temperature checked on arrival into Azerbaijan. You should arrange to take a private test.

Anyone who displays symptoms of COVID-19 on arrival in Azerbaijan will be directed to the medical station at the airport. From there the case will be reported to the Emergency Medical Services.

If you are arriving to Azerbaijan via a third country (i.e. not directly from the UK) you will still be required to produce a negative PCR COVID-19 test certificate on arrival even if your airline does not request one for boarding part of your journey.

There is no longer a requirement for arrivals to Azerbaijan to self-isolate.

Demonstrating your COVID-19 vaccination status: Azerbaijan will accept proof of COVID-19 recovery and vaccination record. Your appointment card from vaccination centres is not designed to be used as proof of vaccination and should not be used to demonstrate your vaccine status.

Departure from Azerbaijan: Azerbaijan does not require you to produce a negative COVID-19 test to depart the country. However, you should check any testing requirements of the airlines that you are boarding, the country you are travelling to, as well as any countries you may be transiting to see what testing requirement they may have to enable you to travel. You should seek to have any test results you need to produce to fly received via email and printed off, or a paper certificate.
A list of laboratories testing for Coronavirus accredited by the State Health Agency (TABIB) can be found on Azerbaijan Airlines’ (AZAL) website.
