May 12, Fineko/abc.az. Azerbaijan and the UAE mutually cancel the visa regime for citizens.

ABC.AZ reports that this is reflected in Azerbaijan’s draft law on the exchange of notes in connection with the amendments to the UAE-Azerbaijan Intergovernmental Memorandum of Understanding on the exemption from entry visas of persons holding diplomatic and special service passports and on the approval of the UAE-Azerbaijan Intergovernmental Memorandum of Understanding on exemption from entry visas of persons holding diplomatic passports", which were discussed at today's Milli Majlis meeting.

According to the change, the word "diplomatic" in the Memorandum is replaced by "civil, diplomatic and special/service". That is, if earlier visa-free entry was extended only to persons with diplomatic and special/service passports, then after the change it will also apply to persons with general civil passports.

After discussions, the change was put to the vote and adopted.
