Apply early — no last-minute option
There is no visa on arrival or visa-free entry for Bangladeshi passport holders. You must have an approved e-visa before you board your flight. Apply at least a week in advance.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the day you land in Armenia, not from your departure date. If you're staying 2 weeks, your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months and 2 weeks from your arrival.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for your e-visa online
Go to evisa.mfa.am, fill out the application form, upload a passport-style photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around $8–$15 depending on processing speed). Wait for approval — typically 3–7 business days. You'll receive the visa by email.
2
Prepare your documents for arrival
Print or save to your phone: the e-visa email, your return/onward ticket, and your first night hotel booking. Keep them together in a folder or a clear section of your phone gallery.
3
Arrive at Zvartnots International Airport (EVN)
After landing in Yerevan, follow signs to 'Passport Control'. Join the queue for foreign passports. Hand over your passport and e-visa. The officer may ask for your return ticket and hotel address — show them. No arrival declaration form is needed.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually nothing to declare for personal items. Exit into the arrivals hall.
