Saudi Visa from Azerbaijan, Approved in as Little as 6 Hours

Yes. Azerbaijani passport holders need a visa, but Azerbaijan joined Saudi Arabia's eVisa list in 2023, so you apply fully online with no embassy visit. Choose single entry (90-day validity) or multiple entry (valid one year), and the approved eVisa arrives by email as a printable PDF.

Yes. There are nonstop flights from Baku (GYD) to Jeddah in about four hours and to Riyadh in about three, operated by flynas and Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL). Seasonal flights to Madinah also run around the Umrah season, and one-stop options are available via Istanbul or Dubai.

Yes, outside the Hajj season. Your tourist eVisa covers entry, and the Umrah permit itself is issued free through the official Nusuk app. During the Hajj season, entry to Makkah is limited to Hajj-permit holders.

Both work. Independent travellers book the permit and hotels directly through Nusuk, while many Azerbaijani pilgrims still prefer a group operator for the logistics. Either way, the tourist eVisa is valid for Umrah outside the Hajj season.

Yes. The fee is charged in US dollars, and your Visa or Mastercard from an Azerbaijani bank is accepted and billed at your bank's conversion rate. Apple Pay and Google Pay work too, so you can apply from Baku, Ganja or anywhere.

Very similar. Just like the ASAN eVisa you may already know, the Saudi process is fully online: a short form, a passport scan, a photo and a card payment. There is no embassy appointment and no paperwork by post.

Baku is on UTC+4 and Saudi Arabia is on UTC+3 all year, so Baku is just 1 hour ahead. There is almost no jet lag on a trip from Azerbaijan.

A single-entry eVisa is valid for 90 days with up to a 90-day stay. A multiple-entry eVisa is valid for one year with up to 90 days per visit, which is ideal for combining an Umrah trip with a few days of leisure in Jeddah or AlUla.

Yes. On one visa you can perform Umrah in Makkah and Madinah and then explore AlUla or Jeddah. A multiple-entry visa also lets you come back to the Kingdom again within the year.

All-inclusive prices run from $209 for single entry (Standard, 72 hours) up to $279 for multiple entry (Express, 6 hours), in US dollars with the government fees included. There are no hidden add-ons at checkout.

Quickly. Choose Express and your approved eVisa can arrive in as little as 6 hours, or Priority within 24 hours, which suits last-minute Umrah plans. Standard (72 hours) is the value option when you are booking ahead.

An Azerbaijani passport valid at least 6 months from arrival, a recent white-background passport photo taken within the last 6 months, and a confirmed hotel booking (we can add one for $5 at checkout). You will not need bank statements, a letter of invitation, or a return ticket.

Your eVisa is valid at every Saudi entry point, including Riyadh (RUH), Jeddah (JED), Dammam (DMM) and Madinah (MED). For Umrah, most Azerbaijani pilgrims fly into Jeddah or Madinah, the closest gateways to the holy cities.

Yes. Every traveller, including infants and minors, needs a separate application, even if the child is on a parent's passport. You can submit the whole family's applications together, a few minutes each.

Yes. Saudi Arabia's mandatory travel health insurance is bundled into your eVisa and covers emergency medical care during your stay. It does not cover trip cancellation or lost baggage, so a separate travel policy is still worth having.

Alcohol is completely prohibited in Saudi Arabia, which differs from Azerbaijan's more secular customs, so do not carry any, including duty-free. Pork products and narcotics are also banned, and modest dress is expected in public.

Everyday crime is low. Women can travel and stay in hotels independently, with no male guardian and no abaya required for tourists, though modest clothing is expected. As always, check your government's latest travel advice before booking.
