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 — you'll need a passport scan and a digital photo. Processing usually takes 3–5 working days, but can take up to 10 days during peak season. Print the approval email and carry it with your passport.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your Philippine passport must be valid for at least the entire period you plan to stay in Armenia. Border officers at Zvartnots Airport check validity against your departure date — no extra months required beyond your stay. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Armenia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket at passport control. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking showing departure within your eVisa validity period. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host in Armenia. Border officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient money for your stay | Have bank statements or a credit card showing you can cover your expenses. Officers at Zvartnots rarely check, but the law allows them to ask — $50–$100 per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
eVisa is mandatory — no visa on arrival
Philippine passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport. You must have an approved eVisa before you fly. Apply at evisa.mfa.am at least 3 business days in advance.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Armenia, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying.

Prepare your documents
Print a copy of your eVisa, keep a digital backup on your phone, and have your passport, return ticket, and hotel booking ready. Screenshots of your onward ticket and accommodation are fine.
