Pursuant to the Governmental Decree of the Republic of Armenia dated
October 4, 2012, the citizens of the EU member-states and the Schengen
Acquis states shall be exempted from the visa requirement for travel
to and stay in the Republic of Armenia beginning from January 10, 2013.
>From today on the citizens of the above mentioned countries shall be
entitled to stay in Armenia without a visa within a period of up to
180 days per year.
Note that EU and Armenia signed on 17 December 2012 a visa facilitation
agreement at a ceremony that took place in Brussels.
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.
For some categories of frequent travellers and under certain
conditions, member states are supposed to issue multiple-entry visas
with a validity from one to up to five years. Holders of diplomatic
passports are exempted from the visa obligation.
The agreement also provides that the visa handling fee will not be
collected for certain categories of applicants, including members of
official delegations, children below the age of twelve, pensioners,
researchers and students.
