“From this year ASAN service will also issue visas to Azerbaijani citizens.”
Director of Electronic Services Development and Social Innovation Section of the State Agency for Public Service and Social Innovations under the President of Azerbaijan, Jeyhun Salmanov told.
He reminded that since January 10, 2017, issuance of visa to foreign citizens was launched in ASAN Visa system facilities. After the system was initiated, the arrival of tourists to Azerbaijan has simplified: “As of today, through the system visas were issued to about 280,000 people for travelling to Azerbaijan. Currently, the number of countries granted visa up to 94 from 81. Initially, visas were issued only during three working days. Starting from the mid-2017, it is possible to issue visas within three hours, which makes the work of tourists easier. Previously, visas were issued for 30 days with a single entry. After the recent amendment to the Migration Code in accordance with the Presidential decree, visas are already multiple and issued for 90 days. In coming days the system will be adapted to this renovation.”
