Foreign citizens wishing to travel to the mentioned territories in private cars must obtain permission via the “Yolumuz Qarabağa” portal (www.yolumuzqarabaga.az).
Relevant fields have been created on the portal for foreign nationals to enter their passport information, and functionality in English and Russian has been provided on the portal to ensure user convenience.
Individuals driving private passenger cars must familiarize themselves with travel rules and educational information about mine safety on the portal and inform all passengers accordingly.
