Additionally, information on the process, including the availability of electronic visas through the “ASAN Visa” system, will be published on the official websites of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Azerbaijan’s diplomatic missions overseas.
Furthermore, the State Migration Service has been tasked with ensuring that airlines operating flights to Azerbaijan are fully informed about the updated visa procedures for travelers attending the Grand Prix.
The 2025 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix is expected to draw thousands of international visitors, highlighting Azerbaijan’s role as a key destination for major global sporting events.
