WHO NEEDS VISA TO TRAVEL TO ARMENIA?
VISA APPLICATION GUIDELINES
DOCUMENT
REQUIREMENTS
(effective from May 1, 2002)
To travel to Armenia, foreign citizens must obtain a visa from the Embassy
of the Republic of Armenia. Those intending to travel to other CIS countries
either before or after their entry into Armenia must obtain a separate
visa from their appropriate embassies.
To
obtain a visa, an applicant is required to submit the following paperwork
to the Consular Section:
- Completed visa application form, one per applicant, which can be obtained from the Embassy (it can be copied),
- One
professional passport-size color or black-and-white photo of the applicant,
attached to the application form. (If a minor is included in the
applicant's passport and is traveling along, his/her photo must be attached
next to the applicant's),
- The
original passport of the applicant.
- Money order/certified check with exact amount of consular fee (see below).
If applying for a visa by mail, applicants must enclose a pre-paid return envelope (Express, Registered, Purolator, FedEx, etc.).
DURATION
OF STAY
No letter of invitation is required from Armenia to obtain a single-entry
tourist visa if the duration of stay will not exceed 21 days.
For private visits of longer than 21 days (ordinary visa), an invitation
processed through the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Armenia is required.
Official
and business visas, single or multi-entry,
can only be issued upon an official invitation from a qualifying entity in Armenia, processed through the Foreign Affairs
Ministry of Armenia. Otherwise, the applicant is eligible to a tourist
visa with duration of stay of 21 days.
