Who does this exemption apply to?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Armenia was already practicing a policy of selective openness, but this extension to 113 countries<\/a><\/strong> transforms the exception into the norm. The objective is clear: to attract not only tourists, but also digital nomads and investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the countries that can now benefit from the scheme visa waiver<\/strong> :
\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddfa Europe & Schengen area :<\/strong> All EU nationals, plus Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 Americas:<\/strong> United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay (among others).
\ud83c\udf0f Asia & Pacific :<\/strong> Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand.
\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f CIS countries & Neighbors :<\/strong> Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, etc.
\ud83d\udd4c Gulf countries :<\/strong> United Arab Emirates, Qatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2139\ufe0f Did you know?<\/strong> For EU citizens, entry is even possible with a national identity card<\/strong> and if you arrive by air at Yerevan's Zvartnots international airport. For all nationalities, a passport must be valid at the time of travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visa exemption allows a stay of 180 days a year<\/strong>, Armenia is the ideal destination for a long stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Points to watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even with a visa waiver, border crossing remains an official procedure. Here are some recommendations from our agency to help you avoid being turned back:
Passport validity :<\/strong> Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay. We always recommend a safety margin of 3 to 6 months after your return date.
Proof of return:<\/strong> Although rarely requested, immigration officers may require proof of a return or onward ticket.
Regional conflicts :<\/strong> If your passport contains Azerbaijani entry stamps, you can enter Armenia without any problems (and vice versa in theory), but expect a few more questions at customs. Just be honest about the tourist purpose of your visit.
Travel insurance :<\/strong> It is not systematically checked at the counter, but is strongly recommended to cover medical expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not on the list of 113 countries?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your nationality is not on this exemption list (for example, certain African or South Asian countries), don't panic. Armenia has a E-Visa (Electronic Visa)<\/strong> and we can manage your application for you. Depending on the length of your stay, you can choose between a 21 or 120-day e-Visa. To guarantee your e-Visa, your application must be complete and accompanied by the required documents.
