Azerbaijan launches website for obtaining visa

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has put into operation "Website of applications-questionnaires for obtaining a visa".

The website (www.visaapplication.mfa.gov.az ) is envisaged for foreigners or stateless people who intend to visit the country, the ministry told Caliber.Az.

Foreigners or stateless people wishing to visit Azerbaijan will be able to fill out an e-application form for a visa through the website and then send it for consideration to the diplomatic missions and consulates of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The introduction of a new e-information system will minimise the time spent on consideration and processing of visa applications, allow submitting the documents necessary for obtaining a visa in e-form and thereby increase the efficiency of this public service.

The website will cover visa applications which are accepted through the diplomatic missions and consulates of Azerbaijan abroad, as well as through the foreign ministry.

At the initial stage, e-applications through the website will be accepted by the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, as well as the embassies of Azerbaijan in Germany and Georgia.

At the next stage, it is planned to gradually connect other diplomatic missions of Azerbaijan to the website.
