There is no application to complete in advance. If your nationality is visa-exempt, you simply present your valid passport to the border officer at any Armenian air or land border crossing point and are admitted for the permitted period.

Border officers may ask to see evidence of your onward or return travel, accommodation and sufficient funds for your stay.
