My info is absolutely useless to you (and probably to the OP) The reason OP why people are suggesting making official contact with a visa service is that this site has a wide variety of travellers from many different countries.

I have had zero issue obtaining a visa for Azerbaijan in past, and it was completed more quickly than most. You know where to find me though chollie if you want to chat about travel there. (And do I need to call you the 'S' word again??! )
