NOTE Armenia Visa on Arrival (VOA) is currently suspended until further notice due to COVID.

ARMENIA E-VISA

Validity of Armenia e-Visa

21-day e-Visas are valid for 90 days. Even though the e-Visa will be valid for 90 days, you can only stay a maximum of 21 days in Armenia.

120-day e-Visas are valid for 180 days. You can only stay a maximum of 120 days in Armenia.

When to apply for e-Visa

You can apply for an e-Visa as early as 3-months before your trip. Even though E-Visa processing takes only 3 working days, I suggest applying at least 2 weeks prior to your trip. That way, if your e-Visa is denied, you will have enough time to reapply.

How long can you stay in Armenia

With a 21-day e-Visa, you can stay up to 21 days in Armenia.  Similarly, with a 120-day e-Visa, you can stay up to 120 days in Armenia.

IMPORTANT Keep in mind that the immigration officers at the airport will not mark the exit date in your passport. You will have to calculate that yourself. To be on the safe side, consider the day of entry as the 1st day and make sure to leave Armenia by the 21st day or the 120th day depending on the visa you hold.

E-Visa Application procedure

E-Visa application is quite simple and takes about 15 minutes to complete. The entire process is online and it only takes about 3 working days for the result.

NOTE The passport must be valid for at least 3 months after the date of departure from Armenia. It must have at least 2 blank pages in it.

• Latest bank statement
• Residence permit (if living in a country other than the country of your passport)
• Any valid/expired visas from the US, UK, Canada, Schengen, Japan or South Korea

Scanned copies of the above documents must be in JPG, PNG, BMP or PDF formats only. Maximum allowed file size is 6MB.

Photo requirements

The digital photograph must meet the following specifications

• Must be in color with white/light background
• Must show complete face without accessories
• Formats allowed are JPG, PNG or BMP only
• Maximum dimensions allowed is 6000 x 6000 pixels
• Maximum allowed file size is 6MB

The visa fee is dependent on whether you are applying for a 21-day visa or 120-day visa.

• 21-day e-Visa fee: $6 USD
• 120-day e-Visa fee: $31 USD

Processing time

The e-Visa processing time is 3 working days.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE Even though the official processing time is 3 working days, the actual processing time is 1-5 working days. Make sure you apply for your e-Visa at least 2 weeks prior to your travel to Armenia. In case of refusal, you will have enough time to re-apply.

Application tracking

You can track your application status from the e-Visa check application status page using your Application ID. Your application can have any of the 3 statuses.

Priority visa service

Unfortunately, there is no priority visa processing. The visa process usually takes 3 working days and in some cases up to 5 working days. So apply at least 2 weeks prior to your trip.

Customer service

In case of questions on your visa status, you can contact the visa department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office in Yerevan at their email and phone numbers.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE In my experience, it’s difficult to get hold of some one at the visa department by phone or email. If you have any questions, your best bet is to search on the internet. In case of visa refusal, your best option is to reapply.

ARMENIA VISA FROM THE EMBASSY

If you are not eligible for Visa on Arrival (VOA) or e-Visa, you will need an invitation to apply for the visa at the nearest Armenian embassy or consulate.

If the inviting party is an organization, they must submit the physical invitation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Armenia prior to applying for the visa at the embassy.

If the inviting party is an individual, they must submit the physical invitation at the Passport and Visa Department of the Police in Yerevan, Armenia.

ENTRY AND EXIT PROCEDURE AT THE AIRPORT

Entering armenia by air at yerevan international airport.

At the immigration in the airport, the officers may ask you a few questions about your trip such as how long you will stay, where you plan to stay, etc. You may be asked to show your return/onward ticket and your hotel booking.

If you are traveling on a one-way ticket, you can use OnwardTicket to get proof of an onward ticket.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE The immigration officer at the airport did not ask for anything other than my passport and e-Visa copy.

Leaving Armenia by air from Yerevan International Airport

As of now, I’m still in Armenia. I will update this section with my experience when I leave Armenia.

Armenia tourist visa requirements are simple and easy to understand. Many nationalities can get visa EXEMPTION or E-VISA. Those that REQUIRE a visa can only apply at the Armenian embassy by invitation.

Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements

You need a valid passport to enter Armenia . U.S. citizens are allowed visa-free entry to Armenia for up to 180 days per year. For visits of longer than 180 days, you must apply for a residency permit through the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Visit the website of the  Embassy of Armenia  for the most current visa information.

• Armenian law requires that Armenian citizens, including dual nationals, enter and depart Armenia on Armenian passports . Even if you naturalized in the United States,  the Government of Armenia may still consider you an Armenian citizen . Children born in the United States to two Armenian citizens may also be considered Armenian citizens. Please read the information about Armenian citizenship at the website of the  Embassy of Armenia  and also review the Dual Nationality information in the “Local Laws and Special Circumstances” section below.
• If you possess an Armenian “special passport” (a residency permit), you still need a valid U.S. passport to enter Armenia. Border guards have refused to admit U.S. citizens carrying “special passports.” Please visit the  Embassy of Armenia  website for further details. 

Borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan : Land borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan  remain closed  and are patrolled by armed troops. There are intermittent armed hostilities on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border.  

Border with Iran: See the  Iran travel advisory. The Department of State continues to warn U.S. citizens against all travel to Iran  due to arbitrary arrest and detention of U.S. citizens. The Department of State maintains its  “Do Not Travel”  advisory, noting the “very high risk of arrest and detention of U.S. citizens in Iran, particularly U.S.-Iranian dual nationals.”

Russian Arrest Warrants: Armenia routinely shares information about foreign visitors with Russian law enforcement and security services.  U.S. citizens may be detained by Armenian authorities upon entry or exit based on Russia law enforcement or security service information.  Former and current U.S. government and military personnel with prior travel to Russia may face increased scrutiny.

Traveling Through Europe: While Armenia is not located in the Schengen area, many flights to Armenia originate in that area of Europe. If you are planning to visit or travel through European countries, you should be familiar with the requirements of the Schengen Agreement. 

• Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond the period of stay if you plan on transiting a Schengen country.   Review our U.S. Travelers in Europe page .
• You will need sufficient proof of funds and a return plane ticket.

HIV/AIDS Entry Restrictions : The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Armenia.

Find information on  dual nationality ,  prevention of international child abduction  and  customs regulations  on our websites.

Safety and Security

Terrorism: Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as:

• High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
• Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
• Places of worship
• Shopping malls and markets
• Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)

Natural Disasters : Armenia is prone to earthquakes and landslides.

The Nagorno-Karabakh Area and Conflict :

Following armed hostilities in the fall of 2020 and fall of 2023, Azerbaijan took control of Nagorno-Karabakh. Further military activity could occur in the region.  

Crime: Crime is relatively low, and violent crime is infrequent. When police are called they routinely show up; however, they generally do not speak English. Vehicle break-ins  and  theft  are rare but are the most common crimes. Police indicate that there is a criminal group in Yerevan that targets foreigners and burglarizes rented apartments when the victims are away.

• Matters involving  commercial and investment disputes  can take months or years to resolve as they work their way through the civil courts. The U.S.-Armenia Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) provides that in the event of a dispute between a U.S. investor and the Republic of Armenia, the investor may take the case to international arbitration.
• Credit card fraud and ATM card skimming occurs . See the  Department of State  and  FBI  webpages for information on scams.

Demonstrations occur frequently. They may take place in response to political or economic issues, on politically significant holidays, and during international events.

• Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly become violent.
• Avoid areas around protests and demonstrations.
• Check local media for updates and traffic advisories.

International Financial Scams: See the  Department of State and the  FBI pages for information.

Victims of Crime : U.S. citizen victims of sexual assault should first contact the  U.S. Embassy  at (+374) 10-494-585 during business hours and (+ 374) 10-494-444 after hours.

Report crimes and requests for emergency services to local authorities by  dialing 911 . English speaking operators are available. Also contact the U.S. Embassy to report your situation.

Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting the crime .

In cases of sexual violence or domestic violence, victims may contact the Women’s Resource Center at + (374) 077-991-280 and (0800) 01-280, from 9:00 AM to midnight.

Tourism: The tourism industry is unevenly regulated, and safety inspections for equipment and facilities do not commonly occur. Hazardous areas/activities are not always identified with appropriate signage, and staff may not be trained or certified either by the host government or by recognized authorities in the field. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is typically available only in/near major cities. First responders may be unable to access areas at a distance from major cities to provide urgent medical treatment. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance. See our webpage for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage .

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities prior to practicing or operating a business.

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice website.

Please review the State Department’s page on  Arrests or Detention of U.S Citizens Abroad.   In addition, many people accused of crimes are held in local prisons in pretrial detention for between two and twelve months with the possibility of posting bail while waiting for a court hearing.

Arrest Notification: If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately . See our webpage for further information.

• Possession, trafficking, or the uses of drugs, including marijuana, are illegal . A prescription for  medical marijuana  will not protect you from prosecution. If you are arrested for a drug offense, you could face detention during the investigation and a prison sentence after conviction. 
• Electronic cigarettes and related paraphernalia may be perceived as drug related.
• Armenia does not allow the import of various psychotropic drugs. Please review Armenia’s rules on medication at the websites for  customs  and for  health .

Customs and Exports :

• Local officials may occasionally seek bribes to perform basic duties.
• Customs authorities may enforce regulations concerning the import/export of items like firearms, pornography, and communications equipment. Please refer to the Armenian Customs Service for further information.
• The export of items of historical value, such as paintings, carpets, and old books, requires advanced authorization from the Armenian Ministry of Culture . Contact the Embassy of Armenia for further information.

Counterfeit and Pirated Goods : Although counterfeit and pirated goods are prevalent in many countries, they may still be illegal according to local laws. You may also have to pay fines or give up the items if you bring them back to the United States. See the U.S. Department of Justice website for more information.

Dual nationals :

• Armenian legislation permits Armenian citizens to hold dual citizenship. Even if you naturalized in the United States,  the Government of Armenia may still consider you an Armenian citizen . Children born in the United States to two Armenian citizens may also be considered Armenian citizens. Please consult the Armenian government’s website on citizenship and read the  Armenian law on citizenship .
• Armenian law requires that Armenian citizens enter and depart Armenia on Armenian passports. Individuals who are dual citizens, or could be, should consult with the Embassy of Armenia  in Washington prior to traveling.
• Armenian males over the age of 18 are subject to mandatory military service. Penalties for evading military service include  jail time  and a  substantial fine . Young dual-citizen U.S.-Armenian men are advised to  consult with the Embassy of Armenia prior to traveling. There have been instances where dual nationals have been detained at the airport upon arrival until they can resolve their military service issues. 

Faith-Based Travelers: See the following webpages for details:

• Faith-Based Travel Information
• International Religious Freedom Report – see country reports
• Human Rights Report – see country reports
• Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad

LGBTQI+ Travelers:  There are  no antidiscrimination laws protecting  lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) individuals in Armenia. There are  no hate crime laws  or other criminal judicial mechanisms to aid in the prosecution of crimes against LGBTQI+ persons. Individuals face the potential of discrimination and harassment by state and private actors. The Department of State’s Human Rights Report documents that LGBTQI+ persons experienced physical violence, threats of violence, blackmail, and harassment. Police were unresponsive to reports of abuse against LGBTQI+ individuals and at times, themselves mistreated LGBTQI+ persons.

See the  LGBTQI+ travel information  page and section six of the  Human Rights Report  for further details.

Travelers Who Require Accessibility Assistance: Although Armenia signed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2007, Armenian authorities have yet to enforce it. Facilities with accommodations for individuals with disabilities are rare and, in rural areas, usually nonexistent.

Students: See our Students Abroad page and FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers: Informal taxis or mini buses pose threats to people unfamiliar with local conditions, especially to women traveling alone. There have been occasional reports of taxi drivers sexually harassing single, female travelers. See our travel tips for  women travelers .

Outside major cities, medical facilities in Armenia are limited. The U.S. Embassy maintains a list of  English-speaking doctors. Elderly travelers  and those with  existing health problems  may be at risk from  inadequate medical facilities .

For emergency services in Armenia, dial 911.

Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for more information about Resources for Travelers regarding specific issues in Armenia.

The risk of diarrheal disease is high throughout Armenia. Food and water precautions are recommended. Additionally, cases of  brucellosis  from consuming unpasteurized dairy products have been reported.

We do not pay medical bills. Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas . Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.

Medical Insurance

• Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance coverage overseas. Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more information on type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.
• We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.

Vaccinations: Be up-to-date on all vaccinations recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Further health information:

• World Health Organization
• U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Air Quality: The air quality varies considerably and fluctuates with the seasons in Armenia. It is typically at its worst in the winter, with smog and particulate pollution in or near cities. Consider the impact air pollution may have on you and consult your doctor before traveling if necessary.

Visit AirNow  for information on air quality at U.S. Embassies and Consulates.

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety:   The information below is provided for general reference only. Road conditions in Armenia differ significantly from those in the United States. Exercise caution when driving in Armenia. Reckless driving is common. Drivers frequently ignore traffic laws.

Pedestrians often cross dark streets away from designated pedestrian crossings while wearing dark clothing. U.S. Embassy employees are prohibited from driving at night outside the city limits of Yerevan.
• Yield to aggressive drivers  to reduce your risk of being a victim of aggression. Police may seek bribes during traffic stops.
• Winter travel can be hazardous, especially in mountainous areas.
• Practice defensive driving and watch out for  drunk drivers , especially on the weekends.
• Primary roads  are frequently in poor condition with stretches of missing pavement and large potholes. Some roads shown as primary roads on maps are unpaved and can narrow to one lane. Maps may be inaccurate.
