Key Dates & Deadlines

Visa checkMost nationalities need an e-visa. Apply via evisa.gov.az at least 3 weeks before travel. Cost is around USD 26 and approval typically takes 3 working days — don't leave it to the last week.
Hotel bookingOld City and Fountain Square hotels walk to the circuit. Race-week rates jump 2–3× and the closest options are going fast this close to race week — book now rather than waiting, even if it means a slightly less central pick.
Walking planThe circuit cuts through the city centre, so road closures start days before the race. Plan to walk between your hotel and the gates — metro access at 28 May station is the only alternative when traffic stops moving.
Saturday raceThe race runs on Saturday (not Sunday). Double-check your flights and session plan — it catches people out every year.
