⚠️Common Reasons Azerbaijan Tourist Visa Applications Are Refused6

• !
  Applying on the assumption of visa-free entry — ordinary Indian passports are not in Azerbaijan’s visa-free bloc and must hold an ASAN e-Visa before travel.
• !
  Mismatched or incomplete information between the e-Visa application, passport and photo.
• !
  Passport validity under 6 months from the intended date of entry.
• !
  Planned land entry — the Indian e-Visa is valid for air entry/exit only.
• !
  Low-quality or non-compliant passport scan or photograph upload.
• !
  Prior immigration violations or security flags identified by the State Migration Service.

Refusal grounds are at the discretion of the deciding officer and can change. This list is informational — always verify current requirements at the official government portal.
