Of 198 nationalities, 69 enter Armenia with no paperwork at all. The rest: 21 can get a visa at the border, 107 must be approved before they travel and 1 cannot travel there.

We have not found a Armenia government portal we can link to with confidence, so we link to none — a lookalike is worse than nothing. Apply through Armenia's own immigration service or its embassy.

What do you need?

Who needs what

Visa free 69

Nothing to apply for and nothing to pay before you travel.

eVisa (electronic visa) 50

A real visa application, made online instead of at an embassy. It is assessed, it takes days rather than minutes, and it can be refused.

Visa on arrival 21

Issued at the border rather than beforehand. Bring the fee in cash in the currency the border post accepts. It is a permission, not a guarantee.

Visa required 57

You must apply and be approved before you travel. Airlines will refuse to board you without it.

No admission 1

A government policy, not a paperwork problem. No agent or service can work around it.
