BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 4. Transit zones will
be established at Azerbaijan’s international airports for
passengers traveling onward to third countries, Trend reports.
The measure is reflected in the “Rules on the Simplification of
Formalities in Air Transportation,” approved by President Ilham
Aliyev.
Under the document, transit zones will allow crew members,
passengers, and their baggage traveling to a third country to
remain at the airport for up to 24 hours without undergoing border
control procedures and without the need for a visa.
In accordance with the Migration Code, foreign nationals and
stateless persons permanently residing abroad will not require a
transit visa if they pass through Azerbaijan without changing
aircraft, remain within the airport’s transit zone while
transferring flights without crossing the state border, hold other
visas permitting entry into Azerbaijan, or are citizens of
countries that have visa-free travel agreements with
Azerbaijan.
The head of state has also signed a decree to ensure the
implementation of the relevant rules.
