By Anvar Mammadov - Trend:

ASAN Visa service will take effect in Azerbaijan in November, Fuad Alasgarov, head of department on work with law enforcement bodies at the Azerbaijani presidential administration, said.

Alasgarov made remarks at the 19th meeting of the CIS Council of Heads of Migration Agencies in Baku October 12.

“It will be possible to easily get a visa while entering Azerbaijan due to this service,” he said.

Alasgarov stressed that recently Azerbaijan has been gradually turning from the country of origin and transit of migrants into the country of the influx of migrant workers.

"The biggest density accounts for labor migration in Azerbaijan,” he said. “Of course, Azerbaijan’s advantageous geopolitical location, a stable internal political situation, tolerance of the country, expansion of international communications in the energy and transport sectors, impact on dynamics of migration processes.”

He added that in this regard, a lot of work was carried out to strengthen the migration policy.

"In particular, the state program was approved, the legislation was improved, institutional mechanisms were created and new information technologies were introduced,” he said.

“Most of migration documents are issued through ASAN Service centers today, which greatly facilitates the process," Alasgarov said.
