Mozambican passport holders need a visa to enter Armenia in 2026. Apply for an e-visa online before you travel — it's the simplest route. Processing takes a few days, so plan ahead.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | Apply for an Armenian eVisa at evisa.mfa.am. The application takes about 10 minutes — upload your passport scan and a recent photo. Processing usually takes 3–5 working days, but I've seen approvals in 24 hours. Print the approval email and carry it with your passport.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay | Your Mozambique passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Armenia does not enforce the 6-month validity rule — your passport just needs to be valid for the dates you're in the country. Airlines sometimes check this at check-in, so verify before you fly. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Armenia | Border officers at Zvartnots Airport ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. A bus or train ticket to a neighboring country works too — just show something that proves you're leaving within the eVisa validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration rarely asks for a printed hotel booking, but having one on your phone avoids delays. If staying with friends, a simple invitation letter with their address and phone number is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Officers may ask how you'll support yourself during the trip. A recent bank statement or a credit card with a reasonable limit (around $50 per day) usually satisfies them. I've never seen anyone turned away for this, but have something ready. | Recommended |
Apply early — no visa on arrival
Mozambican passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Armenia. You must have an approved e-visa before you travel. Apply at least a week in advance to avoid last-minute stress.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Armenia, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying.
