Yes — foreign tourists can visit Karabakh and Shusha. The catch: the official Yolumuz Qarabağa portal verifies identity through Azerbaijan's ASAN Login, which needs a local ID card that foreign passport holders don't have. That's why the portal looks closed to you. Pink Travel, a Baku-based agency, arranges your Karabakh access directly — no ASAN app, no local ID, and no guided tour required.

Baku-based local agency · Foreign passports welcome · No ASAN ID needed
Azerbaijan expanded travel to the liberated territories for foreign citizens in 2025. But the official request system was built for residents, not visitors — so most foreign travelers hit a wall at the login screen.

Yes. Foreign tourists can visit Karabakh and Shusha independently once access is arranged. You don't need to join a guided tour — you only need the access request handled through the correct channel, which Pink Travel does for you.
The official Yolumuz Qarabağa portal verifies identity through ASAN Login, Azerbaijan’s national e-ID. It was built for residents, so foreign passport holders cannot sign in. That is the blocker most travelers hit — and exactly what we handle for you.
Travel to Shusha and the wider Karabakh region goes through Azerbaijan’s official access framework. Pink Travel arranges that access for foreign visitors so you can travel there legally and independently. Last verified 2026-07.
