Azerbaijan introduces a system for issuing electronic visas

Azerbaijan is creating  ASAN Viza system to simplify visas for foreigners visiting the country. The project of this electronic system will be submitted to the head of state during the month. When it works, then the issue of the visa process will take three days.

 The list of electronic visas must be approved by the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, and a visa must be issued to citizens of countries approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. All this has been said on Friday at the presentation of the new system by the head of ASAN service Inam Kerimov.

Deputy Culture Minister Nazim Samadov said that we must ensure not only the issue of visas at the international airports, but also on all border checkpoints of the country. According to him, now citizens of 12 countries can get visas at the airports: China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia and the Gulf States. The state duty for the visa has been reduced,  and will be  $20.
