ASAN Visa electronic visa
For passports that can use it, the easiest route is the electronic visa from the official ASAN Visa portal: fill in the details, upload a scan of the passport, pay online and the visa arrives by email. It is single entry and must be carried printed. You must leave before it expires, unless the State Migration Service has granted an extension.

Transit rules
The land border with Iran is closed to people, except with a special permit to cross from Iran. Entry into Karabakh and the districts of Kalbajar, Lachin, Qubadli, Zangilan, Jabrayil, Fuzuli, Khojavend, Shusha, Khojaly, Khankendi, Aghdam and Tartar is only possible with a special government permit, because of landmines; entering without one is an offence. Non-residents may not import drones, which are confiscated at customs.
