Can Swedish citizens transit through Azerbaijan without a visa?

Yes, Swedish citizens can transit through Azerbaijan without a visa. Azerbaijan has a transit visa exemption policy in place for citizens of certain countries, including Sweden. This means that as long as you are transiting through Azerbaijan and not leaving the airport, you do not need a visa.

Transit visas are generally required when you have a layover in a country and need to pass through immigration control. However, Azerbaijan has made it easier for travelers by exempting citizens of certain countries, including Sweden, from obtaining a transit visa.

It's important to note that this exemption only applies if you are staying in the international transit area of the airport and are not planning to leave the airport premises. If you intend to leave the airport during your layover, even for a short period of time, you will need to apply for a regular tourist visa.
