Starting from July 23 this year, foreign citizens will be able to visit the cities of Shusha, Lachin, Aghdam, Fuzuli, Khojaly, and Khankendi in Azerbaijan's liberated territories, both with individual vehicles and in groups, by obtaining the relevant permit.
The editorial office reports this based on information jointly disseminated by the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport and the State Tourism Agency.
This opportunity will apply to foreign citizens visiting Azerbaijan for up to 90 days, as well as those who have temporary or permanent residency permits in our country.
Foreign citizens wishing to visit the aforementioned territories with individual passenger cars will be able to realize their visits by obtaining a permit through the “Yolumuz Qarabağa” (Our Path to Karabakh) portal (www.yolumuzqarabaga.az).
