BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 10. Administrative
procedures related to extending the temporary stay of foreigners
and stateless persons in Azerbaijan will be transitioned to an
electronic format, Trend's correspondent reports from the event
This issue is addressed in a draft law amending the Migration
Code, the laws “On Registration of Residence and Stay,” and “On
State Fees,” which were discussed at today’s session of the
Azerbaijani parliament.
In addition, it was noted that the decision to extend temporary
stay, following payment of the state fee, will be posted in the
applicant’s electronic account within the e-government information
system and sent to their email address. Along with this,
confirmation of the decision’s content, its authentication with an
electronic signature, and clarification of the legal framework for
electronic services will be ensured.
The proposed amendment to the Migration Code establishes an
additional ground for refusing to extend the term of temporary
stay. Thus, failure to submit one or more documents required under
Article 41.1 of the Migration Code is also established as grounds
for refusal.
According to the amendment to the Law “On State Fees,” no fee
will be charged for the reissuance of a decision to extend the term
of temporary stay.
In addition, decisions to extend the term of temporary stay
issued before the effective date of the law remain in effect until
the expiration of the term specified therein.
In the event of loss, destruction, or expiration of these
decisions, or changes to the information in the documents
confirming the identity of a foreign national or stateless person,
they will be compiled electronically, transferred to the
applicant’s electronic account in the Electronic State Information
System for posting in that system, and simultaneously sent to the
applicant’s email address.
In such cases, no state fee will be charged for reissuing the
decision.
Following the discussion, the draft law was put to a vote and
adopted in the first reading.
