We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in Azerbaijan. Higher levels apply in some areas. The 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 11 November to 22 November 2024. There will likely be extra demands on local infrastructure, resources and increased security measures. Expect travel disruptions if you are visiting Baku during this time. Be alert to possible terrorism threats, especially in public places. Avoid large public gatherings and exercise heightened caution in locations where foreigners may gather. Always carry your passport and visa with you. The police can fine or detain you if you don’t show valid travel documents.

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Azerbaijan overall due to the threat of terrorism.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
