Armenian visa resources
Documents you need
A valid passport is the core document; residence and long-stay applications add items such as a medical certificate, notarised translations, photographs and proof of your qualifying ground.
Important
For a short visit you need a passport valid for the required period and, unless you are visa-exempt, an e-visa or embassy visa. Border officers may ask for proof of onward travel or accommodation.
Residence permit applications generally require a completed application form, a valid passport with a notarised Armenian translation, photographs, a medical certificate from an Armenian clinic, and documents proving your ground for residence (for example an employment contract, enrolment letter from an accredited institution, or a legalised marriage certificate). Requirements vary by route, so check the official service page for your specific application.
