Baku’s mix of Old City alleys and Caspian coastline draws Americans on standalone trips or as a stop on a wider Caucasus route. You need an eVisa before you fly: the standard tourist eVisa runs a $29 total ($20 state fee plus $9 service fee) and covers a 30-day stay.
The eVisa validity window is longer than the 30 days you’re allowed to stay, so approval well ahead of your trip won’t shorten your time in the country. Apply through the official ASAN Visa portal for the standard total.
