Before you come to Baku
What to know before you travel: visa, flights from Israel, kosher food and Shabbat. For any question, we are here.
- 01
Visa and travel documents
We submit the electronic visa (e-visa) application for Azerbaijan for you.
Entry requirements and travel documents can change. It is the traveller's responsibility to check them with the competent authorities before booking. If anything is unclear, contact us and we will point you in the right direction.
- 02
Flights from Israel
The direct flight from Tel Aviv to Baku takes about three hours, and several airlines operate direct flights on the route.
We coordinate your arrival according to your flight details. The length of stay depends on the procedure and the doctor's instructions, and is set out in your written plan before you book a flight. The doctor advises and recommends.
- 03
Kosher food
The Chabad House in Baku holds Shabbat meals and provides kosher food for Jewish travellers.
If you keep kosher, let us know in advance and we will help you plan your meals during your stay.

The holy Shabbat
Our office observes Shabbat, yet a representative of ours is available to you at any time — and, where needed, a personal companion at your side.
Baku has active synagogues, and the Chabad House holds Shabbat meals. If you would like your treatment and flight dates planned around Shabbat, tell us in advance.
