Henceforth Azerbaijani citizens will be able to obtain a visa to India easier. 

India has facilitated the visa application procedures for Azerbaijan, the Indian Embassy in Baku reported on April 6.

From now on, Azerbaijani nationals would be able to get online e-Visa for visits to India for recreation, sightseeing, casual visit to meet friends or relatives, short duration medical treatment or casual business.

Online application for e-visa could be made at website: https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/Registration

The fees for e-Visa for Azerbaijani nationals is $50 plus bank transaction charges. The validity of e-Visa will be 60 days from the date of arrival in India.

Double entry is permitted on e-Tourist Visa and e-Business Visa. Triple entry will be permitted on e-Medical Visa. E-Visa can be availed for maximum of two times in a calendar year. The applicants are required to apply online at least 4 days in advance of the date of arrival in India.

The e-Visa facility is in addition to the existing Visa services for longer duration or specific purpose being provided by the Indian Embassy. Detailed information about the e-Visa scheme is available on website: https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html

Earlier in December 2016, Azerbaijan revealed the list of countries, whose citizens will be able to visit the Land of Fire fast and without tedious procedures. India became one of the 81 countries who is able to take advantage of ASAN Visa system, which will make life of many foreigners easier.

The only thing to do, instead of going to the diplomatic mission and talking with foreign officials, is to enter requested details onto "ASAN Viza" and pay the proper stamp duty. Three days later, the visa will be sent to e-mail of an applicant.

India has close and friendly relations with Azerbaijan and was among the first countries to recognize Azerbaijan and establish diplomatic ties.

Last year the trade and economic exchanges between India and Azerbaijan progressed from strength to strength, increasing by 63 percent in 2016 as compared to 2015.
