Processing Time FAQ
Common questions about Azerbaijan e-Visa processing times
Unfortunately, once an application is submitted with standard processing, it cannot be upgraded to urgent processing. You would need to submit a new application with urgent processing and pay the additional fees.
If processing exceeds the guaranteed timeframe, you will be notified via email with an explanation and expected completion date. This typically occurs only when additional verification is required or if there are errors in the application.
Yes, urgent processing is available for all eligible nationalities that can apply for Azerbaijan e-Visa. However, some applications may require additional verification that could extend the processing time beyond 3 hours.
