BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 30. Azerbaijan and
Jordan will mutually exempt holders of ordinary passports from visa
requirements, Trend's
correspondent reports from the event.


The issue was discussed at today's plenary meeting of the
Azerbaijani Parliament. The Agreement between the Government of the
Republic of Azerbaijan and the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom
of Jordan on the mutual exemption of ordinary passport holders from
visa requirements was signed in Baku on July 8, 2026.


The agreement aims to promote the development of interstate
relations and facilitate travel procedures for citizens of the two
countries.


The document consists of 10 articles. Under the agreement,
citizens of each country holding valid ordinary passports will be
exempt from visa requirements for entering, leaving, transiting
through and staying in the territory of the other country for up to
90 days within any 180-day period.


Foreign citizens intending to stay for longer than this period,
obtain residency rights, engage in employment, education or other
activities requiring prior authorization from the competent
authorities of the other country must apply for the relevant visa
before entering its territory.


The parties will exchange samples of their valid ordinary
passports through diplomatic channels no later than 30 days after
the date of signing the agreement.


The parties reserve the right to temporarily suspend the
application of the agreement, in whole or in part, for reasons of
national security, public order or public health. Such a decision
will not affect the rights of citizens who have already entered the
territory of the other country.


Amendments to the agreement may be made by mutual consent. Such
amendments will be formalized in separate protocols that constitute
an integral part of the agreement.


Any disputes that may arise regarding the interpretation or
application of the provisions of the agreement will be resolved
through mutual consultations or negotiations.


Following discussions, the draft law on the approval of the
Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan and
the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on the mutual
exemption of ordinary passport holders from visa requirements was
put to a vote and adopted in one reading.
