Why this verdict
Nigerian citizens are not covered by the official Azerbaijan visa-free list or ASAN e-Visa country list used for this destination wave, so the normal MFA visa-issuance route applies for ordinary short visits. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: special residence permits, diplomatic/service passports, work, study, overland border routes and airline transit checks can change the answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
