YEREVAN, JANUARY 10, ARMENPRESS: Citizens both from EU member 27 states
and non-member states, namely (Schengen Acquis )four countries Iceland,
Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland may visit Armenia without a visa
started January 10. The decision was made during Armenian Government's
October 4, 2012 session, Armenpress reports.
The decision stipulates facilitation of entry visa for European
countries states. It is expected that the abolition of the visa regime
for the citizens from those countries will have a simulative effect
on the development of tourism, which in its turn will create more
favorable conditions for the establishment of active contact amid
the people. More favorable political and economic environment will
be formed in the frame of the cooperation amid EU member states.
Visa facilitation is mainly done by reciprocity principle
Armenia and the EU signed visa facilitation agreement in Brussels
on December 17. The Agreement on visa regime facilitation with EU
considers the facilitation of getting entrance visa to the Schengen
Area countries for the citizens of the Republic of Armenia. Visa
regime facilitation comprises certain groups of the citizens of the
Republic of Armenia. Particularly among them are members of official
delegations, scientists, students, journalists, athletes and artists
etc. Also the sides are considering reduction of the visa price to
EURO 35.
The positive experience by other countries served a good example for it
The agreement makes it easier and cheaper for citizens of Armenia,
in particular those who travel most, to acquire short-stay visas
allowing them to travel to and freely throughout the EU. A short-stay
visa is a visa for an intended stay of no more than 90 days per period
of 180 days.
