Rules checked 24 Oct 2026
The currency is Azerbaijani manat, AZN. No live exchange rate is quoted. Keep a modest cash reserve rather than carry the whole budget.
Cash and cards
Tourism says cards are widely accepted in shops and restaurants in cities and popular visitor areas, while rural places often prefer cash. Visa/Mastercard ATMs are available in major towns. No universal acceptance is promised.
ATMs and fees
Check current bank and ATM fees before use. No zero-markup or withdrawal-limit claim is made.
Backup plan
Keep cash alongside cards. Tourism suggests around 5-10% for good service after checking whether service charge is included. This is guidance, not a mandatory tax.
SIM / eSIM
Tourism lists local SIMs at Heydar Aliyev airport and operator shops and recommends official sales offices. Check identification, validity and handset compatibility at purchase. No plan price or mountain coverage guarantee.
Installing vs activating
Choose eSIM only after checking the operator current offer and phone compatibility. Follow selected product instructions for installation, activation and validity.
Backup connectivity
Save hotel address and route notes offline. Check Indian roaming and bank OTP arrangements with your Indian operator; city data does not guarantee mountain coverage.
