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. |
| Destination-country visa where required | required | visa application | Article 34 requires a copy of the visa for the destination country unless that destination admits the traveller visa-free. This scope already holds any required destination visa and other onward entry documents. Check the actual destination rules for the Indian passport and itinerary; an Azerbaijani transit visa does not substitute for them. |
| Copy of onward transport ticket if obtainable, or other journey evidence | required | visa application | Article 34 accepts copies of transport tickets from Azerbaijan to the destination country, where obtainable, OR other information confirming the transit journey. This narrow route enters Azerbaijan during an air connection and leaves by air for a third country. Retain actual routing and onward arrangements. It is not a rule for remaining entirely airside, and no claim is made about current land-border access. |
| No general host petition or invitation-reason document for transit | required | visa application | Transit is exempt from the general inviting-party petition in Article 36.1.6 and invitation-reason document in 36.1.6-2. Retain the separate Article 34 destination-entry and journey evidence. A private host invitation is not invented for this airport-to-airport transit scope. |
| Transit visa validity up to thirty days, permitted stay up to five days | required | visa application | Article 34 sets transit visa validity up to thirty days and stay up to five days, with routing and journey time considered. Follow the actual single-entry visa grant; neither maximum guarantees admission or five permitted days. This is a consular entry-and-onward-transit guide, not a universal visa-free airside-transfer rule. |
| Prepare actual short-stay accommodation and funds if needed | recommended | visa application | Keep practical arrangements for any overnight stay and the onward journey, plus means to meet the actual trip costs. The cited transit clause does not establish a blanket hotel-stamp, bank-history, ITR or non-refundable-ticket requirement; follow genuine additional authority requests. |
| 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. |
