Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply online before travel | Apply for an Armenian eVisa at evisa.mfa.am.

Processing takes 3–5 working days — do not book flights until approved.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Pakistani passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Armenia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Border officers at Zvartnots Airport in Yerevan routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing you leave Armenia within your visa validity. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration may ask where you are staying. Have a hotel confirmation, Airbnb booking, or a letter from your host with their address and contact number ready. A printed copy avoids phone data issues. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers occasionally ask for proof you have enough money for your stay. Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least $50 USD per day of your trip. Cash in USD or EUR is widely accepted. | Recommended |
Apply early — no visa on arrival
Pakistan passport holders cannot get a visa at the airport. You must apply online at evisa.mfa.am at least a week before your trip. Processing takes 3–5 business days, and delays happen.
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. Double-check before you apply.
