YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 12, ARMENPRESS: A foreign ministry official told
Armenpress that a draft law on the legal status of foreigners in
Armenia that is being elaborated now is supposed to make Armenia's
visa issuing policy more flexible. Hrach Hovhanesian, who heads the
visa department of the ministry, said Armenia is the second world
country that has developed and installed E-Visa system for issuance
of electronic visas (also Australia issues on-line visas).
He said some 2,000 foreigners applied last year for e-visas and the
majority of these applications were satisfied. He said the number
of foreigners wanting to obtain e-visas for traveling to Armenia
increases monthly.
Applications for e-Visas are submitted online, verified on line,
and in most cases, they are approved and issued on-line within two
business days. This e-visa is good for travelers arriving by air at
Yerevan's Zvartnots International Airport only.
