Azerbaijan: Restrictive Entry Rules Introduced for Russian Nationals

Russian nationals entering Azerbaijan under a visa exemption for any purpose (including work, business or tourism) can now only stay up to 90 days in any calendar year; whereas previously they could re-enter Azerbaijan repeatedly for 90 days per visit. Earlier in 2024, Russia announced similar restrictions (in effect January 1, 2025) on visa-exempt travel for nationals of Azerbaijan, among other countries.
