Yes, foreign tourists can visit Karabakh and Shusha. The catch: the official 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.
Three steps, fully remote. Send your details and we handle the rest; most requests move within a few days.
Message us your passport info, nationality, and the dates you plan to visit Shusha or Karabakh.
We file your access request through the official local framework and keep you updated on status.
Once access is confirmed, explore Karabakh independently, or add a driver, transfer or guide only if you want one.

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 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.
No. We offer Karabakh permit assistance as a standalone service. Book a guided tour only if you want one; many travelers just want the access handled and prefer to explore on their own.
Send your passport details and travel dates as early as you can. Most access requests are processed within a few days, but timelines can vary, so earlier is always safer.
No request we have filed for a foreign passport holder has been refused to date. Requesting a date through this site charges nothing either, so nothing is at stake while a request is being processed.

Khalid spent most of his childhood in Shusha. That is why this company is built around Karabakh rather than treating it as one stop among many, and why he would rather you saw the city slowly than efficiently. Showing Azerbaijan to people who have never seen it is the part of the work he likes most.
