Azerbaijan announces rules of e-visa issuance through ASAN Visa system
The rules of issuing e-visas through the ASAN Visa system for the foreigners and stateless persons arriving in Azerbaijan have been announced, the Azerbaijani parliament told AzVision.az.

New articles were annexed to the Migration Code on the presentation of the Azerbaijani President.

According to the annex, foreigners and stateless persons arriving in Azerbaijan will be able to obtain e-visas through the ASAN Visa system. The period of stay with a single-entry visa is up to 30 days.

Foreigners and stateless persons, who wish to receive an e-visa, must enter information into the system of "ASAN Visa", and after receipt on acceptance of confirmation pay online a state fee in the amount prescribed by law "On state duty".

The system of "ASAN Visa" sends the appeal to the interagency automated retrieval system "Entry-exit and registration".

Then a visa is sent to the e-mail address of the contact person. In case of failure the person is also informed.

If there are cases prohibiting entry of foreigners and stateless persons to the Republic of Azerbaijan as envisaged in the article #16.1 of the Code, the appeal for e-visa is rejected, issued visa is canceled and person is prohibited from entering the country. New appeal can be checked after elimination of these cases.

Foreigners and stateless persons may apply for a new e-visa only after they will leave Azerbaijan.

The draft law was included in the agenda of the parliament`s extraordinary meeting to be held June 14.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on June 1 signed a decree on simplification of e-visas issuance procedure and the creation of the ASAN Visa system.
