Azerbaijan Away - Saturday 9th October 2021

Azerbaijan has opened up their borders to covid cert holders (plus a PCR test) so it's looking like this one might be back on the cards. Electronic visa also needed to enter the country.

Had accomodation booked for this way back when, only cancelled last friday!! As difficult as it was to plot and plan a route pre covide, the lack of regular flights at present really making the possiblitiy of this one less likely. Has anyone any route options?

Turkish is okay but is 500. Would love to go to this and have always hoped Ireland would draw them but too many unknowns this year.

DFA.ie : "A quarantine regime has been put in place by authorities and has been extended until 2 November. For up to date information on which international flight routes are operating, please see the following link: Baku International Airport (GYD). All passengers arriving to and departing from Azerbaijan must have the results of a negative coronavirus test issued in the previous 48 hours. A test on arrival may also be required and all arriving passengers have to self-isolate for 14 days."

So reading into both you need covid passport, neg PCR test and will have to quarantine when arriving back in Dublin? Or, no one has the foggiest idea yet? Looks like DFA haven't updated their advice based on latest Azerbaijan information. To me it reads, Outbound - vaccinated or recovered plus PCR test 72hrs before flight to Baku, no quarantine  Inbound - EU digital cert is all you need, no quarantine

I could be wrong though on the outbound to Azerbaijan, things change that much it's hard to keep up on requirements

That's the way I read it too. It will most likely change between now and then though, hopefully in a positive sense. Either way I won't be making this one though
