For non-CIS citizens who travel to Azerbaijan, duration of e-Visa / visa-on-arrival is 30 days, basically.
But do you want to stay more in Azerbaijan?? There are some solutions. (I) Visa-run trip to Georgia There is a cheap train between Baku and Tbilisi (Georgia). It is c.14 hours trip for c.400km distance. (Or you can also use taxi or flight, of course.) The idea is that you move to Georgia for several days and re-apply Azerbaijan visa there through e-Visa system or Azerbaijan embassy in Tbilisi. Note that you may have to arrange a visa for Georgia separately. (II) Special-purpose visa Migration Code allows some special-purpose visa which enables you to stay in Azerbaijan for longer period. For example, visa for business visit enables you to stay for 180 day. Or visa for private visit allows you to stay for 90 days. To apply these visa, proper invitation from resident / entity in Azerbaijan is required. Some authorized travel agency may help you to obtain these special-purpose visa, case by case.
