Complete guide to extending your stay in Azerbaijan including requirements, procedures, and important deadlines.
Visa extensions in Azerbaijan are limited and not guaranteed. Most tourist visas cannot be extended. It's recommended to apply for the correct visa duration initially or exit and re-enter with a new visa if needed.
Apply for extension at least 7-10 days before your current visa expires. Late applications may be rejected or incur penalties.

Regional offices may have limited extension capabilities. Complex cases may be referred to Baku.
For most tourists, a visa run or new e-Visa application is more reliable than attempting to extend a tourist visa.
If extension is not possible, consider applying for a new visa or planning a visa run to neighboring countries.
