How many visa-free countries with a Azerbaijani passport?

Why do websites give different numbers for the Azerbaijani passport?

Because they count different things. Strictly visa-free gives 35 countries; adding electronic authorisations and visas on arrival (the Henley Passport Index count) gives 71; adding e-visas gives 111. An outdated source adds another gap.

Why you read different numbers elsewhere

For the same Azerbaijani passport, websites give totals that don't match. They are not necessarily wrong: they count different things, without saying so. Here are the three definitions, applied to the same data.

Strictly visa-free: 35; You show your passport, nothing else.
No prior application: 71; + electronic authorisation and visa on arrival. The Henley Passport Index count, and ours.
Counting e-visas: 111; + e-visa. More flattering, but still an application.

What this page does not replace

Entry rules change often, sometimes overnight.
