eVisa is single-entry only
The eVisa allows one entry. If you leave Armenia (even for a day trip to Georgia), you'll need a new eVisa to re-enter.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Armenia, not your departure date. Check your passport now.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to evisa.mfa.am, fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport-style photo, and pay the fee (around $40 USD). Processing usually takes 3-5 business days. You'll receive the eVisa by email as a PDF.
2
Pack your documents
Print or save on your phone: the eVisa PDF, your passport (valid 6+ months), return flight booking, and first night hotel confirmation. Also grab travel insurance if you have it.
3
Arrive at Yerevan's Zvartnots Airport
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control'. Join the queue for foreign passports. Hand over your passport and eVisa (printed or on phone). The officer may ask for your return ticket and hotel address. Answer clearly. They'll stamp you in — usually takes 2-5 minutes.

Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, head to baggage claim, then customs. Green channel for nothing to declare. You're in Armenia.
