Muscat: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that the Republic of Azerbaijan will exempt citizens of the Sultanate of Oman from entry visa requirements from February 15, 2026, to February 15, 2027.
This exemption allows Omani nationals to enter Azerbaijan and stay for up to 30 days without a visa, with a maximum of three entries per year.
The Ministry advises travelers to ensure their passports are valid for at least six months from the date of entry and recommends securing health insurance covering their stay in Azerbaijan.
