What is Azad Visa?

Question

Hello everyone:

Does anyone know what an Azad Visa is... It is usually issued in the Gulf countries of the Middle East. Any help here?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Azad visa, the term used in the Gulf and Middle East by Indian subcontinent peoples is for independent or liberal visas. This visa is a work visa but without job, purchasing from a local sponsor. Once the employee/expatriate will get a suitable job then the sponsor will grant release to change the sponsorship to the new company/sponsor accordingly.

Hope this information will help.

Answer 2

from this article i have read it must be a crossing village border from Turkey to Syria :or the other way around.
Crossing the Turkish-Syrian border...we hitched to the little-used crossing between the towns of Azaz and Kilis, arriving at midnight. The border was open, and had no problems getting a Turkish visa on the spot. This is a popular crossing for buses Iranian pilgrim buses between Damascus and Iran, so it isn't too difficult to find a lift on one of these to Gaziantep, from where there are connections to most places in Turkey. The other side...there are frequent minibuses from Aleppo (Haleb) in Syria to Azaz, the last village before the border, where you have to negotiate with the drivers to take you the last couple of kilometres to the border post. Obviously it is unusual for foreigners (especially Arabic speaking ones!) to come this way, so the locals clubbed together and paid for our ride to the border, despite our protests!
