An Iqama or Gulf residence permit can change your arrival options. The issuing country, remaining validity and passport nationality all matter when planning your Baku trip.
Both routes may be relevant to a Baku visit, but they are not interchangeable. Start with eligibility, then choose where and when you want the visa decision handled.
