WUF13 - Visa Information
The Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan will provide a “WUF13 Special Visa”, free of charge, for participants registered through UN-Habitat’s online registration system.
After successful registration, participants may apply either through the dedicated electronic visa link included in the automatically generated confirmation email or through the diplomatic missions and consulates of the Republic of Azerbaijan abroad. If a participant decides to apply through a diplomatic mission or consulate, the WUF13 registration confirmation email/letter will serve as the main supporting document for the travel.
The “WUF13 Special Visa” allows the holder a single-entry visit and stay in the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan for up to 30 days.
Participants who require a visa are strongly encouraged to apply promptly after their UN-Habitat registration has been confirmed.
Should you wish to leave the country and return to the Republic of Azerbaijan because of participation in WUF13, you must reapply for the special visa.
According to the appropriate regulations, 22 May 2026 is the final date on which a visa application is allowed to be submitted.
