From April 1, citizens of Azerbaijan will be able to enter Turkey without a visa using diplomatic, service, and civil passports, as well as biometric identity cards.

Citizens of Azerbaijan will be able to enter third countries through the territory of Turkey only with a passport.

Azerbaijani citizens will be able to extend their stay in Turkey only if they have a passport.
