eVisa is mandatory — no visa on arrival
Armenia does not offer visa on arrival for Moroccan passport holders. You must have an approved eVisa before you travel. 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 enter Armenia, not from your departure date. Double-check before you apply.
