BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 23. Holders of
diplomatic, special, and service passports between Azerbaijan and
Oman will be mutually exempt from visas, Trend reports.


This issue was discussed at today's plenary session of the
Azerbaijani parliament.


The agreement between the governments of Azerbaijan and Oman on
mutual exemption from visas for holders of diplomatic, special, and
service passports, signed in Muscat on October 29, 2025, envisages
the simplification of mutual visits between the two states and the
application of a visa-free regime for holders of the relevant
passports. The agreement was concluded based on the principles of
equality and reciprocity.


Under the terms of the agreement, citizens of the signatory
states holding valid diplomatic, special, and service passports are
granted the privilege of entering, exiting, and transiting through
the territory of the other party without the need for a visa.
However, the duration of stay shall not exceed 90 days within any
180 days. Should an extension be necessary, it must be obtained via
a visa, in accordance with the national laws of the host state.


Passports presented for entry under this agreement must remain
valid for no less than six months from the intended date of entry.
Individuals benefiting from the visa-exempt status are required to
comply fully with the host state's regulations concerning
migration, border control, customs, and public security.







The provisions of the agreement also extend to members of
diplomatic missions, consulates, and international organizations
accredited within the other party’s territory, along with their
immediate family members.


In circumstances of national security, public order, or public
health concerns, either party may temporarily suspend the
application of the agreement, in whole or in part. Such a
suspension must be promptly communicated to the other party through
diplomatic channels.


The draft law approving the "Agreement between the Governments
of Azerbaijan and Oman on the Mutual Exemption from Visas for
Holders of Diplomatic, Special, and Service Passports" was put to a
vote and successfully passed in the first reading.
