How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prepare the consular application, then submit personally in New Delhi | required | visa application | Use visaapplication.mfa.gov.az to prepare the Embassy application with the actual private-visit or transit purpose and accurate passport/travel details. The official Delhi indexed instructions require personal submission at the Embassy, do not accept post/courier and state there is no other authorised institution in India. This scope uses personal attendance; the justified-proxy branch requiring notarised authority and representative ID is excluded. This portal is not ASAN eVisa. Recheck current appointments and office arrangements before travelling. |
| Original passport and main-page copies; three months beyond visa expiry | required | visa application | Article 36 requires the passport/travel document and copies of its main pages. Its validity must extend at least three months beyond the expiry of the requested visa, not merely the intended departure date. Use the actual original and legible copies. No ten-year issue-age or fixed blank-page count was established by the cited clause; confirm any local passport-handling instruction rather than copying another country's rule. |
| Two colour biometric photographs, 3 by 4 cm | required | visa application | The current national Article 36 requires two colour photographs measuring 3 by 4 cm and meeting biometric identification requirements. No separate Delhi size override or fixed photo-age window was recovered. Follow current mission quality instructions; do not import another mission's 6 by 4 cm specification or an ASAN passport-photo-page scan rule. |
| Already-held notarised invitation from the Azerbaijani-citizen friend | required | visa application | Article 30 requires a notarised invitation for the private-visit category. This scope already holds the genuine notarised citizen-friend invitation. Retain all actual host undertakings and consistent host, visitor, purpose and travel information. Confirm the precise notarial authority/object, original/copy verification, transmission/reference and any issue-age instruction with the Embassy; an Indian notary or an ordinary unsigned email is not assumed equivalent. |
| Copy of the inviting citizen's identity document | required | visa application | Article 30 requires the inviter's identity-document copy. This guide uses an Azerbaijani-citizen nonrelative friend, not the temporary worker/student family branch. The latter branch's relationship proof is not imposed as a universal birth/marriage certificate for friends. No universal notarisation of the host ID copy is established here. |
| Visit-cost undertaking OR evidence of sufficient funds | required | visa application | Article 30 accepts a commitment covering visit costs OR appropriate evidence of funds for tickets, daily living, medical and other expenses. This scope chooses genuine own-funds evidence covering the actual hotel and trip. It does not waive obligations already signed in the invitation. No fixed bank-history period, balance, ITR or payslip requirement is invented; confirm the actual acceptable evidence before filing. |
| General host-petition exemption does not waive the private invitation | required | visa application | On 26 October 2026, private visits are exempt from the prescribed general inviting-party petition in Article 36.1.6 and separate invitation-reason document in 36.1.6-2. Article 30's notarised invitation, host ID and costs-or-funds evidence remain required. The September 2026 amendment, effective 1 January 2027, expands existing wording for other branches; it does not create a future-only private exemption. |
| Keep genuine hotel and return arrangements consistent | recommended | visa application | For this own-funded hotel visit, keep actual accommodation, travel dates and return arrangements consistent with the invitation, application and financial evidence. This is practical preparation for the stated scope, not a newly established universal notarised hotel voucher, mandatory prepaid ticket or additional fixed bank-period rule. |
| Private-visit stay up to 90 days; register if staying over fifteen days | required | visa application | The private-visit category permits a stay up to 90 days, subject to the actual issued visa. If staying more than fifteen days, arrange place-of-stay registration through the hotel/host or the official Migration Service procedure within the statutory period. Registration has no state fee. A longer statutory maximum is not a promise of a 90-day grant. |
| Copy of valid medical-insurance certificate | required | visa application | Article 36 requires a copy of medical-insurance evidence unless the inviter undertakes medical services. This scope retains the insurance-copy branch and does not assume a host waiver. Match the planned journey and confirm actual coverage/acceptance requests. No universal Schengen coverage amount or notarisation of the insurance copy is imposed. |
| Evidence of the applicable consular state-fee payment | required | visa application | Provide the document confirming payment of the applicable state fee. Check the current Delhi rate, payment method and receipt instructions before payment; no fee amount, bank account, payment guarantee or ASAN service charge is copied into this consular guide. Payment does not establish approval. |
| Confirm local invitation handling, copies and translation requirements | required | visa application | The cited national clauses do not establish a complete Delhi original/copy checklist for every supporting document, acceptable document languages, translator qualification or routine apostille/legalisation. Confirm the actual receiving-authority instructions, including any invitation-reference or verification request, before filing. Carry genuine originals where required and retain every actual signed undertaking. No automatic paid translation, notarisation or apostille service is selected. |
| Allow actual consular handling and comply with the issued visa | required | visa application | The official Delhi indexed page reports a general five to ten working days; this is not guaranteed approval, an appointment promise or permission to travel. Confirm current handling before booking irreversible travel. Enter and leave within the actual visa's dates, entries and permitted purpose; a visa does not guarantee admission. |

FAQs
Are all documents for Azerbaijan short family / friend visits automatically translated?
No. Translation is shown per document row because official sources may accept some documents as issued while requiring translation for others.
Can I order document processing from this checklist?
Build your checklist using the route facts first. A processing option can be selected only where supported by the document row. Rows needing language or authentication confirmation remain under review before pricing.
