Obtaining an Entry Visa or an E-VISA (electronic visa) for Armenia

An Armenian entry visa allows a foreign citizen to enter, stay, and exit Armenia within the validity period and under the conditions specified in the visa.

There are two ways to obtain an Armenian entry visa:

  1. Applying through an Embassy or Consulate

    • Applicants must visit the Armenian embassy or consulate in their country after booking an appointment in advance.
    • If there is no Armenian diplomatic representation in the applicant’s country, they can apply through an Armenian embassy or consulate in another country.

  2. Applying Online for an E-VISA

    • Citizens of certain countries can apply online through the E-VISA system of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia.
    • E-VISA is available for holders of ordinary passports or travel documents from 73 countries.
    • To check if a visa is required, visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (refresh the page when selecting a country).
You can apply for this service in person by booking an appointment in advance.
