In this article, we will discuss the issue of rejection of an e-Armenian Visa and how to follow the procedure in the event of a refusal. Although it is always disappointing to receive a negative response, it is essential to understand the reasons for the rejection and the steps to follow in order to try to obtain a valid visa.
Possible reasons for rejection of your e-Visa
Several reasons may lead to the rejection of your Armenian e-Visa application, in particular :
- Problems with your photo or passport
- Incorrect or incomplete information provided in your application
- Ineligible or invalid passport
- Your profile does not meet the eligibility criteria for obtaining an Armenian e-Visa
It is vital that you check all the information and documents submitted with your application before sending it off to avoid any problems that could lead to it being rejected.
What should I do if my Armenian e-Visa is rejected?
If your e-Visa application is rejected, follow these tips to give yourself the best chance of success on your next application.
Checking the information supplied
Make sure that all the information you provide in your application is correct and up to date. Common errors include :
- Typos in names, dates of birth or passport numbers
- Incorrect data on the form (e.g. incorrect contact details)
- Wrong choice of type of visa requested
If you spot an error on your application, correct it before submitting it again.
Analysis of supporting documents
It is important to check that your supporting documents meet the criteria set by the Armenian authorities for electronic visas:
- Valid passport with at least 3 months remaining after the planned date of departure from Armenia
- Passport photo complying with international standards
- If necessary, proof of sufficient funds for the stay in Armenia (e.g. bank statements)
- Proof of accommodation reservation and travel itinerary if required
Before resubmitting your application, check that all your documents meet the above requirements.
Review eligibility conditions
Your Armenian e-Visa may be rejected because you do not meet all the eligibility requirements for this type of visa. Review the eligibility criteria and ensure that you meet all the requirements before submitting a new application.
Ask the Armenian authorities to monitor the procedure
If, after checking and correcting all the information and documents, your application is still rejected, you can request a follow-up to understand the precise reason for the refusal. The Armenian authorities responsible for examining e-Visa applications can provide you with a detailed explanation of the reasons why your application was rejected and, if possible, advise you on the steps to take to improve your chances of success.
