Bosnia and Herzegovina grants Azerbaijani citizens visa-free entry unilaterally. On an ordinary passport you are allowed to stay for up to 90 days. A valid passport is required at the border; make sure it has at least six months left.

A return ticket, a hotel booking and proof of funds may be requested. The visa-free arrangement applies only to short trips; work, study and permanent residence require a separate permit.

Sarajevo, Mostar and Blagaj are the country’s most visited spots, and the route is usually combined with neighbouring Balkan countries. As there are no direct flights, connecting through Istanbul is the common choice. Viza.az builds the Istanbul connection and the Balkan route together.
