(1) Visa-free nationals (Turkiye, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and others on the MFA list) may enter without a visa for up to 90 days (Russia: 90 days per calendar year) and must then obtain a temporary residence permit (TRP) for full-time study before the stay period ends. (2) Other nationals: study visa from an Azerbaijani embassy/consulate (visa for scientific or educational purposes, Migration Code art. 27.1, issued on request of a registered educational institution), or, if the country is on the e-visa list, an e-visa with the EDUCATION purpose (ADA). Where there is no embassy and the country is not e-visa eligible, ADA says a visa on arrival may be possible with a special permission letter arranged by the university. After arrival: register place of stay (free), then TRP through the university and the Ministry of Science and Education request to the State Migration Service; TRP is renewed yearly.
**Visa processing time**
E-visa 3 working days standard, 3 hours urgent (BSU page citing ASAN Visa). TRP 15 or 20 working days depending on the fee tier. Heydar Aliyev grantees receive a single-entry visa and a yearly TRP at government expense.Source

**Health insurance**
Heydar Aliyev grant includes AZN 200 per year for medical care. ASOIU states that international students with a TRP can use Azersigorta (State Insurance Company) medical insurance services. BHOS says health insurance cost is paid by the student. No universal mandatory insurance rule found.Source
### Application steps 1. Create a personal account and apply to the chosen university on portal.edu.az (SIACAS, free; no application fee on the portal). Some universities also take applications by email (Khazar, WCU, BHOS FAQ) but still require portal registration after the offer. 2. University review, possible online/offline interview, possible payment (tuition) - then offer/admission letter. 3. Get the entry document: embassy study visa, e-visa (education purpose) on evisa.gov.az if eligible, or nothing if you are a visa-free national (stay limit 90 days). 4. Arrive; foreigners staying more than 15 days must be registered at the place of stay (apply via State Migration Service e-services, email or ASAN centre; no state fee). WCU page notes 30 days for citizens of Kazakhstan. Re-register within 5 working days when changing address. 5. University submits migration documents; apply for the student TRP at least about one month (BHOS) / 30 days (Migration Service) before visa or stay expiry (ASOIU asks for documents at least 40 days before). Medical certificate (HIV, hepatitis B/C) is part of the file. 6. Renew the TRP yearly after successful completion of the academic year. ### Documents required - Passport valid at least 3 months beyond the TRP validity (WCU asks 1 year at application) - Educational certificate/diploma and transcript, apostilled or legalized, with notarized English/Russian (or Azerbaijani) translation - Medical certificate incl. HIV and hepatitis B and C tests (not older than 3 months in the Heydar call) - Photos (3x4 / 3.5x4.5 cm; counts differ by university) - Language proof where required (see languageRequirements) - Criminal record clearance (BHOS) - TRP file: application form, passport copy, 2 photos 3.5x4.5, proof of residential address/landlord statement, medical reference, state-fee receipt
**Fees**
Student TRP state fee (Law on State Fee, listed by the State Migration Service): AZN 60 for up to 1 year if processed within 15 working days, AZN 40 if within 20 working days; AZN 120 / 80 for up to two years on extension. Place-of-stay registration: no state fee. E-visa: USD 20 standard (3 working days, stay up to 30 days) per a BSU page; urgent e-visa in 3 hours (higher fee, amount not read). Extension of temporary stay: AZN 30-100 depending on speed and days.Source
**Nationality-specific notes:** turkish: Visa-free for up to 90 days with ordinary passport (MFA list). A separate arrangement reported in search results allows travel on the biometric ID card since 2021-04 (not verified on an official page). A study TRP is still needed for full-time study. Eligible for the Heydar Aliyev grant only if Turkiye is in the call's Annex 2 (not read).; russian: Visa-free: 90 days for each calendar year (MFA list). Full-time study requires a TRP. Instruction in Russian is available at several universities (ASOIU, AMU, WCU per their pages).; kazakh: Visa-free 90 days (MFA list). WCU's page states place-of-stay registration within 30 days for Kazakhstan citizens (15 days for others). BHOS lists Kazakhstan among eligible countries of the Intergovernmental Scholarship (bilateral agreements; undated page).; ukrainian: Visa-free 90 days (MFA list). No Ukraine-specific study rule found. Full-time study requires a TRP.; azerbaijani: Citizens of Azerbaijan, and foreigners holding a permanent residence permit, are not international applicants: they use the State Examination Center route like citizens. Dual citizens with Azerbaijani citizenship are treated as citizens (BSU FAQ citing Citizenship Law art. 10). Foreign-only nationals apply as international students.
