PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian parliament on Wednesday, October 24 adopted a bill stipulating for amendments to a law on state taxes.

The amendments abolish taxes exacted to extend entry visas and receive temporary residence documents for Armenian-born citizens of crisis-hit countries.

AMD 500 fee is to be paid to extend a visa to Armenia for 1 day; a sum of AMD 105-150 is payable for procurement of temporary residence documents.

As Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan stated during the discussion of the bill, at present, about 5000 Syrian Armenians without Armenian citizenship are currently in the country, many of them facing problems while extending visas or getting temporary residence documents
