Frequently asked questions
Yes, the same visa on arrival is available at all land border crossings with Georgia and Iran. The process is the same — fill a form, pay AMD 15,000 in cash, and get a sticker. Note that the border with Turkey is closed, and the border with Azerbaijan is heavily restricted.
Up to 120 days from the date of issue. You cannot extend it beyond that. If you need to stay longer, you'll need to leave Armenia and re-enter (a 'visa run') or apply for a different visa type at an Armenian embassy abroad.
No, only cash is accepted at the visa counter. Bring Armenian Dram (AMD) or US dollars. If you pay in dollars, you'll get change in dram at the official exchange rate. There are ATMs in the arrivals hall if you need to withdraw dram before reaching the counter.
You will be denied entry. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before traveling. If you have a second passport with sufficient validity, you can use that one instead.
If you stay airside and don't pass through immigration, you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the airport (even for a few hours), you'll need the visa on arrival. There is no transit visa option.
No. The visa on arrival is for tourism, business meetings, or short visits only. For work or study, you must apply for the appropriate visa at an Armenian embassy before traveling.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You'll be fined AMD 50,000 (about USD 125) for the first 10 days, and more for longer overstays. In extreme cases, you could be banned from re-entering Armenia. Always leave before your visa expires.
