Foreigners and stateless persons arriving in Azerbaijan for a period exceeding ten days should register with the Migration Service.
A copy of the person's ID should be submitted to the Migration Service personally, via mail, or email. This service is free and application forms are available at the Migration Service, post offices, and at www.migration.gov.az.
The Migration Service will immediately register foreigners at place of their stay and present written notification to the receiving party within 1 working day.
Foreigners can be registered for the period allotted by their visas, or for 90 days under the visa-free regime.
After changing the place of residence, registration must be renewed. These easy steps can exempt visitors from penalties and deportation.
