In a bid to boosting inbound tourism in the country, Azerbaijan has unveiled a new e-visa portal. The portal was developed as a part of a cooperation agreement signed between VFS Global and the E-GOV Development Center (EGDC) in the State Agency for Public Service and Social Innovations under the President of Azerbaijan.

Currently travellers from 70 nationalities are eligible to travel to Azerbaijan with travel restriction likely to open for other markets.

Fariz Jafarov, Director, EGDC, said, “We are delighted to partner with VFS Global in our endeavour to encourage seamless travel to Azerbaijan. We are confident that travellers across the globe would realise the advantages of e-visa service and leverage its benefits.”

“Azerbaijan is the 64th client served by VFS Global. This mandate reiterates our proven record of nurturing trusted partnerships, excellence in business delivery and our approach on customer-centricity over the past two decades,” said Noel Swain, Business Head – Passport Services, eVisa & Tourism services, VFS Global
