Missed window for Azerbaijan eVisa due to passport validity

[roko]

Hi,

I’ve managed to miss the window in which I can apply for an eVisa to enter Azerbaijan as the passport expiry (8/12/19) must be 3 months more than the final date of visa validity (11/9/19). To clarify, this is a UK passport.

I’m therefore wondering a) if anyone has found a way to bypass this by contacting the embassy? b) if it is possible to apply for a regular tourist visa at an embassy (would have to be Bishkek or Tashkent), even if their country is on the eVisa scheme? c) anything else?

Any information at all on this would be really helpful.

Cheers

Many/most countries technically require your passport be valid for at least 6 months from date of entry, so best to just get a new passport.

^ I agree, less likely to encounter problems when departing/arriving, too.

Realised I could still get the urgent visa so went for thay instead.
