🇦🇿 For a Azerbaijan passport

Good news — with a Azerbaijan passport, you don't need a visa to enter Russia. You can stay for up to 90 days, without applying for anything in advance.

Since this is visa-free entry, there's no processing time to wait on — you just show up with a valid passport.

The official fee is Free.

One more thing worth knowing: Azerbaijani citizens can enter Russia visa-free under the bilateral agreement; since January 1, 2025, visa-free stay is limited to a cumulative 90 days per calendar year (changed from 90 days per 180-day period)..

This falls under our Europe guides.
