BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 31. Azerbaijan's State Migration Service is collaborating with the International Organization for Migration to conduct a high-level panel discussion on human mobility related to climate change in anticipation of COP29, set for November 18, said Ulvi Aliyev, Head of the International Cooperation Department at the State Migration Service, Trend reports.

The head made the statement at a media briefing on the results of a media tour of Heydar Aliyev International Airport in preparation for COP29.

“The State Migration Service, in conjunction with the COP29 Organizing Committee and the Azerbaijan COP29 Operating Company, has executed initiatives to optimize migration registration processes, enhance awareness, and promptly resolve issues that may occur during entry and exit from the country. The registration period for COP29 participants has been extended from 15 to 30 days, as stipulated in the agreement between the Government of Azerbaijan and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat. These regulations pertain to foreign nationals and stateless persons entering the country with a COP29 visa or without a visa, contingent upon their registration with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat.

Essential technical and organizational arrangements have been established to efficiently execute these requirements and facilitate seamless border crossings for foreign participants, particularly those entering without a visa," Aliyev said.

He mentioned that to keep foreigners in the loop about the pertinent rules, a wealth of information on migration regulations has been rolled out on official websites and other resources tied to COP29.

"Airlines conducting flights to Azerbaijan and other designated groups have been supplied with relevant information. During the conference, essential measures will be put in place to improve operations at critical points of interaction between foreign citizens and migration authorities, including Heydar Aliyev International Airport, the Service's Call Center, and other service locations," he added.
