Apply for your Armenia Visitors Visa online

The short-term visitor visa allows a maximum stay of up to 21 days (within a 90-day validity window). The long-term visa allows a maximum stay of up to 120 days (within a 180-day validity window). Both are single-entry visas, so you must select the option that fits your travel plans upon application.

Yes. You can prolong your stay by applying for a visa extension for up to an additional 60 days. You must submit your extension request, passport, and proof of accommodation in person to the Migration and Citizenship Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Yerevan before your original visa expires.

Nationals of most African nations and select Asian countries can't apply for a standard eVisa or Visa on Arrival independently. They require a local sponsor—such as a registered Armenian company, government agency, or relative—to submit a formalized invitation letter directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before they can apply at an embassy.

From July 1, 2026 through July 1, 2027, citizens of 111 visa-required countries can enter Armenia visa-free for up to 180 days in a one-year period if they hold a valid residence permit issued by the United States, an EU or Schengen state, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or Oman. A visa from those countries does not qualify — it must be a residence permit, held as a physical card or a sticker in your passport, and valid for at least 6 months from your entry date.

Overstaying is an administrative offense. If you exceed your allowed stay, you won't be permitted to leave until you pay a cash fine ranging from 50,000 AMD to 100,000 AMD (approximately $125 to $250) at the border. Overstaying can also lead to entry bans or future visa denials.

No. Armenia isn't a member of the European Union or the Schengen Zone. It maintains an entirely independent border and visa policy. An Armenian visa only grants you entry to the Republic of Armenia; traveling to neighboring countries like Georgia or Iran requires checking their separate entry requirements.

Yes. There aren't any age exemptions for this visa; every traveler, including infants, must have their own individual visa. However, minors under 18 are entirely exempt from paying the official government visa fee. You must still submit a separate online application and upload their passport bio-page.

If you're remaining in the airport transit area for less than 48 hours without passing border control, you don't need a visa. However, if you plan to leave the airport, change terminals requiring immigration clearance, or have a longer layover, a Transit Visa (valid for up to 3 days) is required.
