Armenia Tourist Visa
Traveling to Armenia for tourism
Foreigners enter the territory of the Republic of Armenia through border-control points. For entry, a foreigner must have a valid passport, entry visa or a document of residency status, unless Armenian laws or international agreements define another procedure. Minor foreigners may enter Armenia accompanied by parents, a parent or any other legal representative, or if one arrives to his parents, a parent, other legal representative or a receiving organization.
If a foreigner arrives in Armenia without any valid identity document or visa, or is refused an Armenian visa, they cannot enter the territory of the Republic of Armenia and must be returned to their country of origin or the country they arrived from — unless the aim of arrival is to apply for asylum or refugee status.
Who needs a tourist visa for Armenia
Some countries' nationals are unilaterally exempted from the visa requirement, and others share a visa-free regime with Armenia under bilateral and multilateral agreements. Holders of all other national passports and travel documents, including UN Laissez-Passer, are required to obtain an entry visa — and nationals of certain countries can apply for a visitor visa only with an invitation.
