Apply online for an Armenia tourist eVisa — short-term 21-day or long-term 120-day visitor stays for sightseeing, culture and leisure travel across Armenia.
Armenia Visitor eVisa for Tourism
Explore Armenia on a tourist eVisa — culture, heritage sites and scenic landscapes across the country
The Armenia tourist eVisa (visitor visa) is the most common electronic travel authorisation for leisure trips to the Republic of Armenia. It covers sightseeing, cultural visits, visiting friends or relatives and other short personal stays that do not involve local employment.
Eligible foreign nationals apply online, upload identity documents and receive approval by email — typically within 3–4 business days after payment. Present the approval letter with your passport at an authorised entry port on arrival.

Who Can Apply for a Tourist eVisa?
Foreign nationals whose passport country is eligible for the Armenia eVisa and who are not visa-exempt may apply online. Your eligibility depends on passport nationality, not country of residence.
Short-term (21 days): suits brief holidays and quick visits. Long-term (120 days): allows a longer continuous stay under the same single-entry visitor category.
The permitted stay period is printed on your approval document. Overstaying is a violation of immigration rules.
