Obtaining an e-Visa for Armenia is a crucial step for many travellers. Although the process is generally straightforward, mistakes can result in the application being rejected. Here's a detailed guide to best practice to maximise your chances of obtaining your Armenian e-Visa without a hitch.
Prepare your application thoroughly
Documents required
To avoid rejection, make sure you have all the necessary documents before starting your online application:
- A digital copy of the identity page of your passport, valid for at least 3 months after the planned date of departure from Armenia
- A recent digital passport photo that meets the required standards
- A copy of your return plane ticket
- An accommodation reservation or letter of invitation
- Bank statements proving applicants' income (positive balance requested) on Last 3 months.
Precise information about your trip
Please provide accurate information about your stay:
- Planned entry and exit dates
- Address of your accommodation in Armenia
- Reason for trip (tourism, business, family visit, etc.)
Fill in the form accurately
Accuracy is essential when filling in the online form. Any error, however minor, may result in your application being rejected.
Personal data
Check carefully that your surname, first name, date of birth and passport number correspond exactly to the information on your passport. A simple typing error may be grounds for rejection. We take care to check the information you send us to minimise these risks.
Consistency of information
Make sure that all the information you provide is consistent with each other and with the supporting documents you submit.
Respecting deadlines and procedures
Processing times
Although the processing of an e-Visa application for Armenia is generally fast, it is recommended that you apply at least 5 days before your planned trip. This will give you time to resolve any problems.
Passport validity
Make sure that your passport is valid for the duration of your planned stay, plus a further 3 months after the planned date of departure from Armenia.
Payment and confirmation
Confirmation and printing
Once your application has been paid for and approved, you will receive your e-Visa by email. Print this document and keep it with your passport for presentation on arrival in Armenia.
Common mistakes to avoid
There are a number of common mistakes that can lead to your e-Visa application being rejected:
- Providing incorrect or inconsistent information
- Use a photo that does not comply with the required standards
- Not having sufficient validity on your passport
- Failure to mention previous visits to Armenia
- Not providing all the required documents, including the invitation for certain nationalities
If your application is rejected despite these precautions, do not hesitate to contact the authorities to understand the specific reasons for the refusal and to obtain advice on re-applying. In some cases, it may be preferable to apply for a visa at an Armenian consulate for personalised assistance.
