Visa Restrictions: Note that if your passport shows any evidence of travel to the separatist republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, such as a Nagorno-Karabakh visa, you will be denied entry (even if you already have an Azerbaijani visa). If you do intend to visit Nagorno-Karabakh, the authorities there can issue the visa on a separate piece of paper at your request. Insist on this to the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities, otherwise you could permanently be refused entry to Azerbaijan. Entry will be refused to citizens of Armenia and to all foreign citizens of Armenian descent and ancestry and those with Armenian names and surnames, as well as any products made in Armenia and with Armenian labeling, etc. If you have a visa from Armenia proper in your passport, you may also expect border hassles. The best practice is to visit Armenia after you have visited Azerbaijan. . Travellers have border guards and police confiscating guidebooks which include info about Nagorno-Karabakh, especially the Lonely Planet Georgia, Armenia, & Azerbaijan guidebook, because Nagorno-Karabakh is introduced as separate from Azerbaijan. |
