Armenia Travel Information

While Schengen Area nationals and EU members are able to enter Armenia without requiring a visa, other nationals including those from the UAE will need to purchase a visa. This can be done either before traveling through an e-Visa or in person once you have landed. It may be easier to arrange an e-Visa to skip the queues at the airport, and they are usually approved within 2-3 business days. Be advised that you will need to use the local currency, the Armenian dram, if buying your visa at the airport.
