Entry requirements

| Return or onward ticket Recommended for visa-free entry | Immigration officers at Zvartnots Airport in Yerevan may ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return ticket or a ticket to your next destination ready. Budget airlines from Tashkent sometimes check this at check-in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended for visa-free entry | Officers may ask where you are staying. Have a hotel booking confirmation or a letter of invitation from a host in Armenia ready. A simple printout or digital copy on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended for visa-free entry | Border control may ask to see you have enough money for your stay. Carry around $50–$100 USD per day in cash, or have a bank statement showing available funds. ATMs are widely available in Yerevan but less so in rural areas. | Recommended |
180 days per year — not per trip
The 180-day limit is cumulative across all visits in a calendar year. If you stay 90 days, leave for a month, and come back, you only have 90 days left. Keep track of your total days.
