Azerbaijan sits where Eastern Europe meets Western Asia, on the western shore of the Caspian Sea. If you are coming from Lithuania, it makes an easy first taste of the Caucasus. The journey is manageable, the time difference is small, and the capital, Baku, mixes a UNESCO-listed old town with bold modern architecture.

Below you will find what you need to enter the country, how to get there, and the practical details that make things smoother once you land.

Do Lithuanian citizens need a visa for Azerbaijan?

Yes, you will need one, but for most trips it is a simple process. 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 single entry, and it lets you stay up to 30 days within a 90-day period.

You will need a passport that stays valid for at least six months from the day you arrive, a clear scan of its photo page, and your travel and accommodation details. The requirements guide has the full document checklist and walks you through each step.

Getting to Azerbaijan from Lithuania

Most people fly into Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) in Baku. There is usually no direct service from Vilnius, so you will normally change once at a connecting hub, with the whole trip taking roughly five to seven hours depending on the route. Connections shift with the seasons, so it pays to compare current options when you book.

Azerbaijan runs on a single time zone, AZT (UTC+4), two hours ahead of Lithuania. That gap is small enough that jet lag is rarely a concern in either direction.

Practical tips for Lithuanian travellers

The local currency is the Azerbaijani manat (AZN). Across Baku, cards work in most hotels, restaurants and shops, but it is worth keeping some cash on you for smaller towns and markets. You can change money at banks and exchange offices, or just withdraw manat from an ATM once you arrive.

If your trip involves something the eVisa does not cover, like a longer stay, certain work or study purposes, or replacing a lost passport, the Embassy of Azerbaijan is in Vilnius. For an ordinary tourist trip, though, the online eVisa is all most visitors need.

What to see in Azerbaijan

From the walled Old City and Flame Towers of Baku to the Silk Road towns and mountain villages of the Caucasus, there is plenty to fill a long weekend or a full week. Our Azerbaijan travel guide covers the regions, food, and practical advice for getting around.
