Azerbaijan sits right where Eastern Europe meets Western Asia, on the western shore of the Caspian Sea, and for travellers from Liechtenstein it is an easy way into the Caucasus. You reach it with a flight through a nearby hub, the time difference is small, and the capital, Baku, pairs a UNESCO-listed old town with striking modern towers.
This guide runs through what Liechtensteiner passport holders need to get in, how to reach Baku, and the small practical things that make the first day or two easier once you arrive.
Do Liechtensteiner citizens need a visa for Azerbaijan?
Yes, you will need one, but it is a simple process for most trips. If you are travelling as a tourist, the easiest route is the electronic visa (eVisa), which you apply for online before you fly, so there is no embassy visit and nothing to post. It is a single-entry visa, and it lets you stay for up to 30 days within a 90-day period.
To apply, you will want a passport that is valid for at least six months from the day you arrive, a clear scan of its photo page, and your travel and accommodation details to hand. The full checklist and the step-by-step are in the requirements guide, so it is worth a quick look before you start.
Getting to Azerbaijan from Liechtenstein
Almost everyone flies into Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) in Baku. Liechtenstein has no commercial airport of its own, so the usual approach is to make your way to a neighbouring hub, most often Zurich, and connect from there. With one stop you are looking at roughly six to eight hours in the air. Routes and carriers shift with the seasons, so it is worth comparing current schedules when you book.
Once you are there, the clocks are easy. Azerbaijan runs on a single time zone, AZT (UTC+4), which is two hours ahead of Liechtenstein in summer and three hours ahead in winter, when Liechtenstein is on standard time. It is a small enough gap that jet lag is usually mild whichever way you are travelling.
Practical tips for Liechtensteiner travellers
The local currency is the Azerbaijani manat (AZN). Cards work fine in most hotels, restaurants and shops around Baku, but it is worth keeping a bit of cash on you for smaller towns and the markets. You can change money at banks and exchange offices in Baku, or simply withdraw manat from an ATM once you arrive.
If something falls outside what the eVisa covers, a longer stay, certain work or study trips, or replacing a lost passport, it is worth checking with your nearest Azerbaijani diplomatic mission before you travel. For an ordinary tourist trip, though, the online eVisa is all most people need.
What to see in Azerbaijan
