From 24 October, theArmenia<\/strong> tightened the conditions for access to e-Visa<\/strong> for nationals indians<\/strong>, Iraqis<\/strong> and Egyptians<\/strong>. This decision comes against a backdrop of growing concerns about immigration and the control of migratory flows in the country. The new measures impose a more complex procedure requiring supporting documents, in order to limit extended stays and regulate the influx of visitors from these nationalities. This development raises questions about both the economic impact and social perceptions in Armenia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n From 24 October, access to Armenian territory for Armenian nationals will be restricted. indians<\/strong>, Iraqis<\/strong> and Egyptians<\/strong> has become more complex.

On the other hand, many citizens are concerned about the economic repercussions and the image that this situation will project internationally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Lilit<\/strong>owner of a bed and breakfast in the centre of Yerevan, echoes these concerns: \"We can't complain about the lack of tourists on the one hand and close our borders on the other. These visitors support many businesses and contribute to the local economy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In addition to this emergency measure for Indian, Iraqi and Egyptian nationals, the Armenian government is considering a wider review of its migration system.
