Visas for the UK
Welcome to the UK's visa service in Azerbaijan. Our aim is to offer a fast, fair and efficient service to all our customers.
Citizens of Azerbaijan must hold a valid visa for entry to the United Kingdom before they travel. In Azerbaijan you must make your visa application online, and then book an appointment online to attend the Visa Section in person with your documents and to give your finger prints. We are unable to see customers without appointments. You can make an online application by visiting www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk.
If you need to change the time or date of your online appointment, please cancel the unwanted appointment so that another customer can use it. We closely monitor the appointment system, and we will cancel appointments if there is evidence of multiple bookings for one applicant; or inappropriate block bookings by agents.
Due to heavy demand, if you wish to travel during the summer months of June-September we strongly recommend that you apply for your visa at least 4-6 weeks in advance. If you do not do this, you may not receive a visa in time for your intended travel dates.
Please note that the Visa Section in Baku will operate a Limited Visa/Consular Service between Monday 23 November - Tuesday 24 November 2009.
During this period, you should continue to apply on-line using the visa4UK website but UKBA staff at the Embassy will not be able to accept applications, collect biometrics, or take application fees. Therefore there may be delays in processing applications.
If you plan to travel on these dates [23 - 24 November] please apply by Friday 13 November.
We remain committed to providing a fast but firm visa service and aim to meet our agreed customer service standards of processing 90% of applications (straightforward and non-straightforward) within 15 working days.
